basic logging / interface

[haneefmubarak]

We should know what the server is doing. @Jan4V volunteered to implement this as a control panel (thanks Jano!).

[substanc3-dev]

Here please ask for what you want in the interface.

To continue the discussion started in the gui thread :
@Jan4V I understand that you made it with your terminal in mind. I won't blame you for that. However, I tried it on my mini notebook, and it wasn't quite right.

I have an other though : you should use a custom function instead of fgets, to allow command completion, etc...

[substanc3-dev]

I have the terminal on my mini notebook with debian installed :D and also what about ncurses?

[substanc3-dev]

Ok, i will definitely use ncurses!

[haneefmubarak]

Perhaps you'd like to use Vitapi instead of ncurses along with Linenoise instead of readline? I like Vitapi because the code is much cleaner, and Linenoise has a convenient license and is rather small.

[MayeulC]

I second this. But I didn't know about Vitapi until now. Thank you for pointing this 😄

[haneefmubarak]

No problem. Just for reference, here are the sites for those projects:

• Vitapi: http://tasktools.org/projects/vitapi.html
• Linenoise: antirez/linenoise

[haneefmubarak]

@Jan4V how is the CLI coming along?

[substanc3-dev]

Oh, sorry, I wasnt here,
I didnt have much time (fu** school) so porting to vitapi is slow.
