I'm finally sponsoring some folks for their open source work with (small) monthly donations - just a way to say thanks for tools I use all day, every day.

So you want to create a quick native dashboard. You know enough web dev to be dangerous, and now you're hoping to create something useful that isn't stuck in one of your browser tabs.

Here I'll touch on the path I took through Electron that eventually lead to Tauri, then include links to the way I'm currently using Tauri in Clawe.

Ralphie is a library for useful clojure / babashka apis.

It provides namespaces and functions for integrating with whatever tools I use.

The gist: bash-like scripting and automation libraries via babashka and repl -driven development.

Originally targetted linux cli helpers, but expanded to some osx use-cases as well.

Example namespaces: emacs, tmux, browser, git, spotify, rofi.

• Dino Repo

A Godot monorepo full of games, addons, and scripts.

babashka/cli is a few input arg parsers/coercers and babashka features ( -x my-ns/my-func ) that make it dead simple to call a clojure function with coerced args on the command line.

I'll post a link here once it exists! For now, if you're reading this, I could stream this any day, so take a look at my schedule or ping me to see when it's going to happen.
