Jow Forums Windows client

It's in the making, Jow Forums!
of course it's just PoC at the moment but I have some cool ideas for this project.

nice
the site will probably die before you finish though

Qtchan is already a thing, user.
github.com/siavash119/qtchan
It works on GNU/Linux and Windows.

I want to create something more modern, though.

Ok, but please make it libre software.

>gahnoo+cancer on my windows
no thx

Whats the point? Works fine with a browser desu

I can make it look however I like it, tweak it endlessly. I can even make reddit style comments;)

Hiro's botnet javascript is garbage.

How the fuck does anyone take this absolute retard seriously

jesus christ kill it with fire
doesn't the lag and all the useless animations in UWP make you fucking sick? plus all the apps look like the same over-simplistic garbage babby GUI for tablets

>what is CSS

Oh yeah and just sprinkle some more blocker-scripts on top becuase all those trackers... Annoying ads, bloated JS and pointless RAM usage in your browser counts too.

What a fucking pointless program.
Good luck getting it anywhere near 4chanX level.

>uwp
Yikes!

>animations are useless
you know nothing about UX

and the lag is caused by my own implementation, gonna fix it in a moment, this is just a prototype.

GTFO
he's a software saint

gj user. it looks really nice.
i suggest using the Jow Forums api instead of scraping the html

I am using the API, user.
I just didn't do the unescaping and parsing, yet.

no, I don't mean the lag when you fetch the data
I mean the inherent lag the framework has that is in every damn Win10 settings screen and app including edge, which is part of why nobody uses it even when it has a decent layout engine. probably because it waits until the bloated animations, effects and transparencies are rendered to begin actually drawing shit to the screen, unlike previous toolkits.
there are useful animations and then there are gratuitous time wasting animations. and even then animations should always have an option to disable it for superusers who instinctively know how the apps will behave when interacting with a certain UI element, for whom the animations are just a waste of time.
what do YOU know about "UX"? do you have a degree on it? no? then stop talking out your ass
if the poojeets who engineered UWP were such UX geniuses, Win8 and Win10 wouldn't have been critiziced for having a shitty tablet UI on the desktop and being inconsistent all over the damn place
if ram for an 90s looking site with a few ads and trackers bolted on top is a problem for you, your toaster will run UWP like shit too so that's not a valid point

This looks sexy and I bet you do too :3

good good

I don't notice any 'framework lag'
I agree that it should be possible to speed up/disable animations, valid point, but I don't think W10 animations are that long and annoying. I actually find it all rather snappy.

Chrome with just this one tab open uses 540mb, my application running in a VS wrapper (debugger) uses 80mb.
Personally I do not give a fuck, but I know that this matters for laptop users, etc.

I like it. Would it be possible for an option for putting an image by yourself conveniently in the background of this program?

ok. let's wait until your shit's finished and we'll put side by side a loonix chrome install and your app on windows 10 on a 512mb VM and see which one is snappier

>image board
>no images
So this is the power of windowsfags...

Go away cunt. Just because you're a failure doesn't mean everyone else needs to be.

₹100 has been deposited into your account.

gee, didn't realize I was talking to mr. success over here
how about you come back to me when you have something that actually works and not babby's first GUI project?

>Jow Forums is one person
nice deflection

And you are a retard just like him, it's only fitting.

>implying you aren't OP
lol sure bro

Not possible for UWP apps I'm afraid.

but why?

Damn what a shame.

this is the literal state of 4channel slash g holy shit i didn't realize how bad it had gotten.

...

It's a cult.

bump

I've never written a UWP app, but that looks like maybe an hour's work.

That's pretty much what it is.

The fuck is this GNU shit you speak of? Nobody gives a shit about HURD.

>uwp
Yikes. At least use gml if you want it look like a mobile app.

*Qml

I actually prefer WPF since I'm more comfortable with it and it has some features that UWP doesn't.
I chose UWP because I want to try it out, learn a few things along the road. There are a few annoying things I had to hack around already, we'll see how it goes.

Interesting.

Uhh qt 5 is a new thing

...

>qt
>ghanoo cancer like gtk

The hardest part is writing the bindings for c++ libs for webm support

>application for isolatin displaying one site
Dumb phoneposter.

Not sure if you're aware user, but there is already a fully featured cross-platform Jow Forums client: your fucking browser.

>github.com/siavash119/qtchan
it looks fucking great, doesnt matter how shit win10 is this specific ui looks clean, flat and unbloated

link not related, i fucked that up

Why not build it as a webapp?

people of color?

Proof of concept you baboon.

fpbp

kek!

Keep some extra features.

>all that wasted space

I just visit the site directly then, why bother with ""webapp""?

That's bullshit. See VLC and Kodi.

What's the status, OP?

finished, she's running like a top

What is Jow Forums? Did you mean 4channel?

>Needs an __app__ to browse a website.
The absolute state of winfags.

seems bloated.

Nice

Hiro has ruined the site with botnet trackers in the javascript.
At least this shit doesn't track you.
If Moot was still here, then yeah, this would be stupid.

Are you braindead? Every heard of ublock? noscript? Jow Forums works just fine with them.

>retards have to pay with their data
>people who listened to Jow Forums only allow the captcha script run on a secure VPN, then cache the token, and push it through standard internet or a personal VPN.

try having less posts per line, you get barely any information from that amount of text per post

There better be a dark mode fammilam

cool, wake me up when it's as good as Jow Forums-x.net's userscript

he's using native windows GUI so if you change to dark mode, it should change with it.

pretty cool user here's mine. It take 0 additional space on my computer and automatically updates every time the api does. It's even cross platform and works on a phone.

Attached: 4channeldotorg.png (1018x636, 507K)

that dark mode better not be the only mode. I fucking hate it.

gimme the actual colors of the boards (Yotsuba + Yotsuba B) please (also a link to download the client).

what are you programming it in by the way? C#?

??

Attached: Huh.png (585x221, 40K)

they're (now) automatically blocked by ublock origin.

he's not wrong, there's a particular set of ads that shows up occasionally that contains an "anti-ad block" script. Updated ublock origin blocks it now but it didn't for a while. I still have a copy of the deobfuscated js if anyone wants it.

Can't you see that he's running Clover (an Android client) in an emulator?

I am OP, and for my project I'm using C#

Neither of those are UWP, just traditional win32 applications in the Windows Store.

>Can't you see that he's running Clover (an Android client) in an emulator?
oh I didn't notice.

>I am OP, and for my project I'm using C#
please get your project on gitgud.io then and post the link so I can follow it.

I can upload it somewhere tomorrow, will write here or create a new thread.

>somewhere
use gitgud.io then, github is a hellhole full of retards who care more about an emoji than about coding.

Show me at least 5 (five) people who do this shit.

Needs more whitespace and padding

VLC does have a UWP version.

This is peak soγ-Jow Forums...
