Needs Rad GUI

[privatezero]

Yeah! yeah! yeah! yeah!

[ablwr]

Resolved in #19 😜

[privatezero]

Inching closer- but its radness is still harshed by its lack of cross-platform support!

[ablwr]

Ohhhhhhhh.

[privatezero]

Not off the hook yet!!

[privatezero]

Closing this for now - haven't found a solution that works better than the current pashua/dialog combination without swelling audiorecorder to a silly size! If anyone has any radness soon, can re-open!!

It's a big step up from pashua, but there's a lot you can do with qt. The repo at https://github.com/angelosalatino/FFmpegRecorder is a good intro since a very light implementation of Qt wrapped around some ffmpeg handling.

Also Electron! 😼

I have a working electron prototype - I just felt it was impractical to have to build an electron app of over a hundred megabytes to control a tiny tiny bash script!

We use qt for our clients, but, as Dave said, it‘s a big step…

[privatezero]

qt does look promising - audiorecorder probably would require a very similar GUI to that FFmpeg controller in terms of functions.

Also, maybe time to take another look at Shoes? I think that creates applications that are smaller than electron.

For what it is worth, here is the electron interface I had running! https://github.com/privatezero/gui-work
It was working within the development, but I didn't get to the point where I successfully packaged it as an app.

[privatezero]

Ok, on a little further analysis I think shoes is EXACTLY what the doctor ordered. Super small packages that download the Shoes back-end as needed when run. I'll dive into this - hopefully radness will ensue!

[privatezero]

I have created a repo over here for the time being to start building out the initial gui structure.

I think this has a lot of promise in terms of enhancing ease of use and install via better controls, packaging dependencies and less dependence on bash.

The sample build I have in the current sandbox can open the preview mode (with hard coded values) and uses ruby instead of bash (except for the system calls to sox/ffmpeg).

Ultimately this would I guess be a complete rewrite of audiorecorder's code, breaking it up into subscripts and rewriting a ton in Ruby, so if anyone has pointers on the etiquette of replacing the entire contents of a repo, let me know!

You are seriously the best
