Starting Work On Riftbook! - Day 0-1

Hello, it’s me, Inoty. You know, your long-list twin brother? Family relations aside, I want to talk about my great and amazing new project named “Riftbook”! Isn’t it just amazing? I certainly think so, Riftbook is a glorified install script for a Debian container meant to run inside of Chromebooks! “Oh but Inoty, oh your so cool and awesome, but doesn’t ChromeOS already ship with a Debian Container?” First off, shut up, and yeah, it does. But not all Chromebooks support it, either way this comes with a separate Desktop Enviroment that gets streamed directly to your browser for your pleasure! So even if you do have access to the container, I’d recommend using this anyway. (Not Biased In Any Way)

What’s Currently Completed

I have completed the watermark and branding for the project; alongside a rough outline of the install script, right now it’ll only install the container with some bundled packages, but fear not! More is coming soon! I want it to configure the Web Display for you, which might take me a while. But I think I may have the brain capacity to make it work (not really)

Design

Wowzers! A design section, I just cant wait! I designed the logo with the spiral tool in affinity, of course distorted a little, as a cheeky little reference to its Debian origins! The palette was proposed to me by @starvulkan (hate that guy)

Where does the name come from?

Well, this was originally going to be called “Driftbook” but I decided to change the name, due to the fact that I had the idea of it opening a “Rift” from ChromeOS to the Debian Container! The book comes from Chromebook (Duh)

Conclusion

My key takeaway from the short amount of time I’ve been working on this project is: I’ve already started going insane please help.
