| pascalo | hello | 03:09 |
|---|---|---|
| AkivaAvraham | pascalo, happy new year | 03:09 |
| pascalo | thanks | 03:09 |
| pascalo | new year, new learnings | 03:09 |
| AkivaAvraham | pascalo, good to hear! | 03:09 |
| AkivaAvraham | What are you working on today? | 03:10 |
| pascalo | I am trying to learn about the HTML5 apps for Ubuntu ... | 03:10 |
| pascalo | and whether it is possbile to launch sub processes somehow, maybe the manifest? | 03:10 |
| AkivaAvraham | pascalo, not much experience with html5 myself. I do mostly qml and qt stuff. | 03:10 |
| pascalo | fair enough | 03:11 |
| pascalo | they use the manifest structure as well, yes? | 03:11 |
| AkivaAvraham | :( | 03:11 |
| AkivaAvraham | to be honest; not entirely sure what a manifest structure is. I am embarrassed for my level of ignorance. | 03:12 |
| pascalo | I had a dig around, and there's the desktop entry in the manifest/hooks section | 03:12 |
| AkivaAvraham | pascalo, care to fill me in? | 03:12 |
| pascalo | no worries ... I might be oddball here :) | 03:12 |
| pascalo | well, I just made an SDK project ... and it auto-created a manifest.json file | 03:13 |
| AkivaAvraham | yah I see these things around in my project files | 03:13 |
| AkivaAvraham | never touch them | 03:13 |
| AkivaAvraham | do not know what they are for. | 03:14 |
| pascalo | :) | 03:14 |
| pascalo | my thinking was that as part of launching my app I could spawn a node.js thingy that does UDP discovery | 03:16 |
| AkivaAvraham | Probably can. | 03:17 |
| AkivaAvraham | pascalo, do me a favour? | 03:17 |
| pascalo | and I can see that the desktop hook entry links to a file that invokes stuff | 03:17 |
| pascalo | yep? | 03:17 |
| AkivaAvraham | pascalo, if you havn't already, could you subscribe here: http://www.reddit.com/r/ubuntuappdev to the subreddit, and post a screenshot of the app you are developing? This helps foster a greater developer community | 03:18 |
| pascalo | AkivaAvraham, I am embarrassed to say I have never used reddit | 03:19 |
| AkivaAvraham | pascalo, heh; its a great way to waste time sometimes. r/pettyrevenge eats up a good 5 minutes each day | 03:20 |
| pascalo | sounds like I need to avoid that one | 03:24 |
| pascalo | goal for 2015: Create some stuff | 03:24 |
| pascalo | has been a while that I have been productive coding wise | 03:25 |
| AkivaAvraham | pascalo, I know what you mean. | 03:25 |
| pascalo | But I just had my Macbook Pro turn into an expensive paperweight, so I fully switched to Ubuntu on an excellent XPS13, and there's stuff I need that doesn't exist, so I better make it happen somehow | 03:26 |
| pascalo | FWhich brings me to my plan for an app: a Sonos controller | 03:27 |
| pascalo | since Sonos doesn't support Linux natively | 03:27 |
| AkivaAvraham | never heard of sonos | 03:30 |
| pascalo | It's a wireless music system, that has controller apps which work with UPNP | 03:31 |
| pascalo | there's some UDP sockets as well | 03:31 |
| pascalo | There are a few libraries out there that manage to work with it, via CLI for example ... | 03:32 |
| pascalo | so I thought I'd wrap that in an html5 interface | 03:33 |
| pascalo | but I don't quite know how yet | 03:33 |
| pascalo | ;) | 03:33 |
| AkivaAvraham | Hmmm interesting | 03:50 |
