Mr Robot Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I've been thinking for a while as other open source apps move to wxWidgets, GTk or web interfaces is it time to ditch the old QT interface, make RespeQt a daemon and have it offer a web interface? It would certainly be more flexible being able to run RespeQt on a machine without a keyboard, or screen and use a web browser on another device to control it. Thoughts?

JoSch Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 1.) I like the interface. 2.) I also don't want to redo it. 3.) Who else would do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Robot Posted May 28, 2019 Author Share Posted May 28, 2019 It's a good job it's open source really; you don't necessarily have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoSch Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I don't see anybody else. It's just ebiguy and me, at the moment. Also, I don't see how dropping Qt makes RespeQt any better, just because others move to other frameworks. Over there in the OS/2 world, it's a sesnsation, that Qt5 is gettng ported. So, no. I don't want it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Robot Posted May 28, 2019 Author Share Posted May 28, 2019 at the moment Dropping Qt makes running RespeQT on a headless server controllable from a web enabled device like a phone possible. It lowers the memory overhead and the CPU requirements to levels that even SBC's and some embedded controllers can reach without struggling. Those two things, IMHO, make it better.

JoSch Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I'd rather spend my time on RespeQt actually adding features to it than rewriting it completely. That's what it will come down to. If it's about resource management, there is probably something to be done. I applaud your idea, but don't count me in. I'm juggling too many balls already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DrVenkman Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 This is the joy of open-source. If someone else wants to take the codebase, untangle all the Qt-specific stuff and use a different set of tools, more power to 'em. Let us all know when you have progress to report! But I don't think it can be called RespeQt (since "Qt" is part of the name). If nothing else it would lead to all sorts of user-confusion. Just my two cents.

Mathy Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 (edited) Hello Herb But I don't think it can be called RespeQt (since "Qt" is part of the name). If the "k" is silent, RespeGTk doesn't sound too bad, but RespewxWidgets is an absolute no-go as far as I'm concerned.

+Stephen Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 How about Respe.NET(core) since it even runs on those damn linux boxen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoSch Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I don't mind at all, if all of you reimplement RespeQt on the platform of your choice. I just think, it would be wasted efforts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
