I need to add multithreading to the desktop client, I have not done that before in c++ - so that'll be fun to figure out. I need it for the fetching of the timeline so that it happens in a separate thread. That way the GUI does not freeze while fetching the timeline. Also need to add a status bar that can show what the application is working on.
Also, got almost everything I use up and running on NixOS, last thing I need now is a way to develop directly on my source, I think I need to set up one of those development shell files for it, so that I then can work from vscode or kdevelop. Cmake is currently happy, and I tried to install everything on my system, but the 'nix build' works fine - but that pulls from remote repo, I want to compile the local edited source as I work on it.
GTK4 libraries are not detected by cmake, even though I have it installed on my system. I've googled a bit - and others have solved it a bit differently. So I'll try a couple of things to see if I can get it to work.
I was able to fix this now, by making a 'default.nix' file, and then you can open a shell that has all the stuff needed by simply typing 'nix-shell' in the root git directory. Pretty nice, I'm starting to enjoy this OS more and more.
Also - the last thing I needed is sorted, how to get vs code to pick up the default.nix shell environment, there is a really nice addon for vs code that picks up what is in that file, and then set up the environment based on that, meaning I can now open the source, configure, compile and debug with vscode, this was the last piece that was missing. I will write a blog post on my website that explain what I learned, and how I fixed all these things, maybe it'll help someone else to try NixOS for some development.
