I have a whole blog post talking about using Godot for GUI development. The short of it is that it’s surprisingly good but has a few drawbacks, and it doesn’t have a bustling ecosystem like webdev tools. I’ve yet to try it on mobile, though.
The choice of Godot for a UI library is an interesting one; how big is the program in the end?
Not small but not huge either, the app itself will be within 25MB uncompressed (<10MB zipped) - but it doesn’t matter that much since most of the file size will be the dependencies used to convert stuff. I have a blog post talking more about Godot for GUI apps if you’re interested.
The rest of the feedback is appreciated! I was just about to add some text showing which file was being converted when processing.
Video files are an exception since it would be too slow on WASM
Q: What happens with video files?
Video files get uploaded to our lightning-fast RTX 4000 Ada server. Your videos stay on there for an hour if you do not convert them. If you do convert the file, the video will stay on the server for an hour, or until it is downloaded. The file will then be deleted from our server.
VERT is really close but not totally what I was looking for, it’s a web app rather than a local program and AFAIK can’t convert videos locally, you’d have to upload it to a server and download them again.
Appreciate the feedback!
I’ve yet to see any AVIF in the wild. I think support for it is not quite there yet, everybody is still relying on WEBP.
It’s a heavily modified and upgraded version of source 2, but yeah.
You can help by writing to Apple CEO Tim Cook (tcook@apple.com) and letting him know that you won’t buy Apple devices because of their proprietary software and DRM.
There really has to be a better call to action than this:
I mean the series did peak in season 1, but season 2 is the worst one by far. If you do pick it up again you’ll probably have a better time once you get through the bad parts.
Stranger Things very famously had that one episode in season 2 where Eleven travels and joins another group of teenagers with superpowers - it was an extremely unsubtle attempt at greenlighting a spinoff that never happened.
After that episode this was never mentioned or brought up ever again.
Animals seem immune. There was some throwaway line in episode 2 about how one of the survivors told a giraffe to shoo and go away but it completely ignored her.
I think you’re on the money. The signal humanity got is also most likely from an alien species that suffered the same fate, it’s a virus trying to spread to the whole universe.
I just finished watching the first two episodes and thought it was excellent. It’s been a while since a show hooked me from the very start.
After finishing episode 2, I now have a theory on where this is going. When the hivemind says that it can’t hurt anything, I think they mean it literally. They are not allowed to hurt any living thing and are completely docile.
The reason they have a seizure when shouted it is that they want to hurt Carol back but aren’t allowed to, so they deadlock. They also seem to do 100% of everything they’re told to do. Nobody noticed this yet in the show but potentially this could mean someone could order around everybody on earth to try and rule it, which could be wild. Curious to see where this goes and whether I’m right.
The new theme is nice and all but condense layout for arrays in the inspector is so beautiful. I have an old project that became unwieldy because of how much space the inspector was taking to edit anything.
Help you how…? If you want to make a game, learn game development.
At first I thought ehh, another Minecraft clone, but the more I watched the video the more this seems kinda awesome.
Procedurally crafted tools, no restrictions on build height, a massive view distance are all very cool. It has the same problem all Minecraft clones have though… It tries too hard to be Minecraft. The textures and UI are almost 1:1 that at first glance I could swear it’s Minecraft. I hope it becomes its own thing as it gets developed more.
Man, that was an incredible video. As someone who occasionally dabbles in designing and creating programs, the rant about selection modes was eye-opening. It feels like I understand UX a lot better now.
Love what LibreOffice is doing but I’m praying they get a UX designer to do a full pass of the program. I try to use it every few years and just can’t. Browsing the settings is a nightmare. The UI is too compact and it’s hard to tell where anything is.
It’s Arabic. The pic is a pun on “Good morning” which is written sabah el-fol. The picture says sabah el-farawla which roughly translates to “Good Strawberring”.
Your comment posted 3 times so I’m guessing there’s something with your internet haha
I’m still deciding how “serious” the project is going to be, but if all goes well I will definitely add support for other formats. I’m already looking at adding Pandoc for document conversions.
