edex-ui

Is there a good reason why the UI we see in sci-fi don't make it into actual products? Maybe there is some true limitation inherent in this style UI which causes them to stay as mere experiments / novelty? I'm thinking about demos like this which I've seen go by HN over the years (I'm not involved in any of these): LCARS demo: https://www.mewho.com/ritos/ Tron-like terminal: https://github.com/GitSquared/edex-ui Sci-fi UI components: https://github.com/arwes/arwes And I've long been a fan of designers like gmunk doing UI work for film: https://gmunk.com/Oblivion-GFX But I'm genuinely confused why the actual UIs we all use on a daily basis are all so derivative of one another when the space of UI possibilities is so vast.

Yes, but I'm imagining that this isn't something that works in conjunction with another terminal program, but that it's one program -- some kind of shell/GUI hybrid. I have actually seen this before, in the very fun but silly and not-particularly-useful edex-ui thing. (great way to impress people who don't know, but like, if you type your password in it it literally shows the keystrokes) https://github.com/GitSquared/edex-ui

Wow what a cool project https://github.com/GitSquared/edex-ui

Looks really cool! Gives me similar vibes as EDEX-UI[1] [1] https://github.com/GitSquared/edex-ui

I think they're trying to be a bit too clever, with vim being the retro part and "futuristic" being used to signify contemporary/modern/IDE-ish. Not really how retrofuturism actually works, as that would imply that a part of the editor would be how people in the past imagined the future to be. Which would be an interesting concept, but I'm not aware of any kind of editing interface like that. Too menial for pop culture. Retro-futuristic image manipulation would be in Blade Runner, but text editing? Maybe the Tron 2 quasi-Emacs ;) https://www.robscanlon.com/encom-boardroom/ https://github.com/GitSquared/edex-ui

Also previously posted, but if you want to TECHNICOOL your workstation a la Hollywood: https://github.com/GitSquared/edex-ui

And I just saw the TRON UI trending on github today - https://github.com/GitSquared/edex-ui#screenshots

Strange that nobody on this thread shared the amazing eDEX-UI project: https://github.com/GitSquared/edex-ui. A full open-source sci-fi terminal emulator inspired by Tron Legacy.

There's edex-ui for linux systems. (https://github.com/GitSquared/edex-ui) I've not personally used it so I can't speak to how functional it actually is but it has a very similar feel to it.

This is really cool, great job! I'm thinking about integrating this in edex-ui ( https://github.com/GitSquared/edex-ui ), here's how it looks like so far, redesigning pop-ups: https://imgur.com/a/4oABPAT I use viewport units (vh, vw) in my CSS to ensure everything scales to different screens/resolutions; so far augmented-ui seems to handle that very well.

I currently have three around the apartment attached to the network: One running Seafile (https://www.seafile.com/en/home/) with an old laptop hard-drive connected via USB enclosure. It acts as my own Dropbox. I mainly store notes and photos on it and sync them to a few other devices for redundancy. It also has a Samba share with all of my music and has an open vpn server so I can connect to it from anywhere. One with a HiFiBerrry Digi+ hat (https://www.hifiberry.com/products/digiplus/) connected to my sound system via toslink running an MPD (https://www.musicpd.org/) server. I can control it with M.A.L.P. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.gateshipon...) on my phone. This one also has a 7" touch screen (https://www.amazon.com/Raspberry-Pi-7-Touchscreen-Display/dp...) which I use to sometimes display ncmpcpp (https://githu

This should probably point to the GitHub repository itself: https://github.com/GitSquared/edex-ui Unlike the article, the GitHub repository mentions the Windows and macOS releases.
