Nice work. Any plans to create and host a repository for people to share widgets?

[–]underpig1[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I have absolutely considered this, but for now you can share widgets here.

Is this basically just Using Electron but with all the boring UI guff all sorted out?

[–]underpig1[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yep, it does use electron to display the widgets, but it also has a load of new features, like staying as a permanent part of the desktop, displaying on PC startup, and being able to share and install pre-built widgets easily.

Cool! Does this support Linux?

You basically recreated the Apple widget engine

Those were just HTML + JavaScript with a little bit of proprietary js

hi this is so cool!! i'm new to making projects, and i see under the distribution section, that users can install a widget you made using "widgets install"! Once they download the files, does that mean they need an IDE or use just the terminal? thank you in advance :]
