YEY! really looking forward to what you folks have on your mind for this!
Previous progress reports: nixos packaging unearthing the helper and the binary bloat, cel building it on arm with my update and new repos in the same thread.
tl;dr: systrayhelper
s built through travis-ci for all kinds of platforms (at least linux, darwin and windows) on the horizon. Need to figure out the helper install story through npm for node-systray, maybe post-install based?
Food for thought:
- What kind of actions through the systray might be nice to have? Apart form Quit
- Open Statuslog? let's not loose sbots stdout. Maybe in a small gtk window, or spawn some terminal with
tail -f .ssb/logfile
. - Gossip status? Number of open connetions, feed DL in progress, index in progress, etc. could all be done through
update-menu
messages
- Open Statuslog? let's not loose sbots stdout. Maybe in a small gtk window, or spawn some terminal with
- Plugin selection
Not that we have one shell to rule them all might want to revisit plugin needs of the clients again? Just so that patchfoo, -bay, tictac and others work out of the box until we can start to testbed out-of-process plugins.
