I'm thinking about launching a Notcurses chat room that people
can come to with questions or whatnot. I would prefer to have a
single place. What would people recommend? Options I'm
considering (I'm happy to look beyond this list) would be:
- Matrix
- Discord
- IRC
but I'm old and out of touch with the kids, so maybe there are
better options than this? I have no interest in using Slack.
Also, contradicting earlier claims, there will be a 2.3.0 before
3.0.0, probably this month. My goal is to have bitmaps working
perfectly in 2.3.0, including:
- text below bitmaps
- text above bitmaps
- bitmaps moving
- bitmaps atop bitmaps
- maybe resizing, unsure
Most of this stuff mainly works now, and just needs perfecting.
2.3.0 is loosely defined as "everything I need to implement
raptitude" (a package manager with screenshots).
3.0.0 will include bitmap-based plots, which will ideally
replace the current FPS plot in the demo. I've broken all issues
into either 2.3.0, 3.0.0, or no milestone.
After that, I intend to take a long hard look at performance
improvements via SIMD or perhaps even GPU offload. I kinda doubt
we can get wins from discrete GPUs, due to the cost of moving
data on the PCIe bus, but I bet we could use on-die GPUs to some
good effect.
My head is full of plans for a 3.0.0 hype video that will rock
the balls and assholes of this great nation; you can see the
idle details at
https://github.com/dankamongmen/notcurses/issues/1425. Upon
seeing the Notcurses II video, joseluis lamented that it was
just more of the same notcurses-demo; I'm happy to put more
stuff in there (I intend to show off raptitude, for one), but
that requires stuff to put =]. So if you've been working on
something k-rad, point me at it, and you could find yourself in
the video!
Finally, I'd like to put a picture of each team member in there
(though I of course won't if you'd rather I not), so find a
picture of yourselves that you like, and send it to me. I'm
thinking something like 0:39 in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9Bc69J6tSU
If your name is Marek, José, or the mysterious igo95862, I
consider you core team =].
much love from the land of automatic weapons and bacon!
hack on, nick

Hey, has a chat room been created? I can't find it, so asked.
If it doesn't exist, please do! (Any of IRC, Discord or Matrix works, although IRC is my fav) I'm currently hacking around notcurses through rust wrappers (to build a terminal app) and learning around a community would be great.

yep, we've got a matrix room:
