What apps are you missing?

Once I’m finished with SEN phase 1, where you can get a feeling for the future of semantic desktops:nerd_face:, I’ll implement a basic markdown editor called “convergence” with some nice touches and full SEN Integration.

It could be used as a replacement for Obsidian but without the plugin bloat. Instead it will offer native filetypes and relations with properties and deep linking. So you can drop a relation in the editor and reference the target.

More on that later this summer, so stay tuned and be sure to subscribe to the SEN Substack if you want the latest updates, ideally a paid subscription to support the project as I’m really low on financial resources here😊

I know falkon is using Blink, the reason I referred to Falkon is because it’s the most “modern” browser available on Haiku. I aswell hope that 32 bit wine is near

didn’t know about Yoink and DEVONthink, but they seem really great!

Got it packaged, played a bit with the roms I have around here, but not that familiar, so can’t tell if it’s functional enough

Begasus · July 19, 2024, 3:12pm

Maybe not perfect, but Kate can do that.

EDIT: granted it’s not native

There is also external Marknote, but you knew that already.

nosycat · July 19, 2024, 3:39pm

There’s Ghostwriter too. Edit: oh wait, that’s not native either, but it’s Qt-based, which is as close as it gets for a port.

und3adaura · July 19, 2024, 6:06pm

In no particular order:

A stable version of Falkon would remove a lot of the frustration with trying to daily drive Haiku and it integrates nicely thanks to the tremendous work put into Qt for the platform. It has decreased as time goes on, but I still spend a lot of time on my phone trying to troubleshoot things.
Some form of acceleration for Intel iGPUs (even support for legacy BLT acceleration would be an improvement in many cases)
- As an addendum to this - multi-monitor support
More advanced power saving options for laptops
I don’t know if its just bad luck but I have yet to find a media player on Haiku that doesn’t inexplicably crash or have difficulty streaming content over the network, so a stable full featured version of mpv or vlc would be much appreciated.

Other than that the vast majority of dev tools I use are already available and work well enough for daily use. Most other stuff falls into the “nice to have” category, works fine under Haiku now or would be trivial to make work if I put in the effort.

christech · July 19, 2024, 10:44pm

Can you tell me how you did it… I got stuck! It would compile until it got to the serial ports… I wish I knew more!

Begasus · July 20, 2024, 6:10am

Created a PR at haikuports for this, maybe you could try it out (or use some information on how to build, or required packages). gsplus, new recipe by Begasus · Pull Request #10714 · haikuports/haikuports · GitHub (included patchset is the one from @coolcoder613 )

bengeesseh · July 21, 2024, 11:15pm

For me, it’s a modern webDAV client that I can plug into my Nextcloud instance.

coolcoder613 · July 21, 2024, 11:22pm

We do have a Nextcloud client ported.
The package name is nextcloud_client.

bengeesseh · July 21, 2024, 11:24pm

Excellent, thank you! I hadn’t realised!

un_spacyar · July 23, 2024, 4:58am

Hi @Begasus ! Just a question: did you were able to run the GSPlus emulator from the packaged version in HaikuDepot? if that is the case, could you share with me your config.txt file?

I am trying to run it, but without much success

Thank you!!!

Begasus · July 23, 2024, 5:45am

I added a line in the ~/.config.gsp that pointed to one of the roms here to checkout.

I see that there isn’t a default config supplied, maybe I should add the one that comes with the source.

un_spacyar · July 23, 2024, 5:46am

Thank you @Begasus !!

Begasus · July 23, 2024, 5:47am

No problem (ps, it’s described in the readme file in the package), let us know if it works out.

christech · July 23, 2024, 4:04pm

GSPlus is working for me. Was able to import my real IIgs ROM and hard drive dump.

Begasus · July 23, 2024, 4:58pm

Thanks for reporting back, and @coolcoder613 for the patch!

un_spacyar · July 23, 2024, 11:39pm

Looks like I don’t have luck with this one…

The emulator never open the main window… but also I am not seeing any error (neither on Syslog or in the Terminal).

I am using Haiku nightly (32 bit).
