I've started a portable desktop widget host project out of spite: https://codeberg.org/Taffer/thoth

Going to be a very long while before it's useful, I think, because I have no idea what I'm doing with Electron/Node, and I'm not a fan of JavaScript. I should be able to get a super-basic Hello World type thing going pretty quickly though, since the Electron tutorials actually work.

My quest to have the perfect (ha!) desktop continues; I've been looking into making Cinnamon desktop widgets ("Desklets").

Instead of having out of date documentation like KDE Plasma 6, there's just no documentation. 🤷

Maybe if I hit the lottery this week I'll quit my day job, reverse engineer these desktop widget systems, and write up to date docs and tutorials. 😛

Rainmeter might be the Windows app I miss most, somehow.

Deep within the earth, below a labyrinth of caves, lies the ancient stronghold of a terrible mindflayer, or maybe the cult of Lloth, or perhaps very xenophobic dwarves; no one is actually sure who lives there because the defenses around it are just too impenetrable. Amongst the middle-most of these defenses are a nest of oblexes (glistening-green oozes that feed on the minds of their prey) and an army of the undead.

At some point, a particularly small and weak oblex found refuge inside the skull of a skeleton warrior. They lived together for awhile, with the oblex acting as a second set of senses for the skeleton and occasionally feasting upon its victims.

One day, as the dire duo were patrolling along their usual route, a band of *very* dedicated door-to-door clerics ambushed and defeated them. Days later, when they awoke, they discovered that they were fused together into one humanoid being; with the oblex's slime for its flesh and the skeleton's bones for its, er, skeleton. The personalities from the oblex's 'meals' had mixed with the psychic remnants of the warrior's former life into a swirly slurry of a mind, one that sought to help people and live peacefully on the surface.

And so, the newly-formed creature set forth to leave the dungeon, with countless hordes of monsters between it and the sky…

A humanoid creature with viscous green skin and 'hair,' with weathered bones poking out of the flesh around the hands, and two pupil-less eyes on a flat featureless face. It is wearing tattered and dented armor, and holding up an unrolled sheet of paper in one hand and a rusty spoon in a pseudopod. It appears to be confused as to what to do next. (Not pictured: the pink fuzzy slippers on its feet.)

Hey @kde I'm looking for a working Plasma 6 "hello world" plasmoid. I just want a text label, but all the plasmoid things are set up properly, AND it works when you run it with plasmoidviewer.

I've been unsuccessful making one from the plasmoid tutorial: https://develop.kde.org/docs/plasma/widget/

I even installed KDevelop in case it had a project template, nope.
