Improved the description by a whole new level!
Devlog #4
This time I didn’t forget to post a devlog, so yay I don’t lose the payout on this one-
Anyways my focus here was to make a pretty simple yet convenient description system, because the original one was… let’s say way too simple (just plain text). So to improve it I changed it into a Markdown-style system.
So what did I add/change?
- An entire new renderer for the description in Detail Window. I had to write a custom parser for it in order for it to read bold, italic and other styles, more on them later though-
- An entirely new description editor in the Edit Window. Since I do not have the skill, time, or interest in making a live-preview editor that apps like obsidian have I chose a different approach. You have a regular text field with buttons for each function added (such as bold, etc.). On the other half you have a preview window that updates after you stop writing automatically (thus preventing lag) and displays a preview of what you wrote.
-
Bold, Italic, BoldItalic, Heading & Small Heading are all the styles I added (maybe for now, maybe for good.). Each and every single one of these has a button, that either turns on or off that style.
And that’s it for now I think.
Seeing this project for the first time?
This project is a windows app written in XAML and C#. It aims to make a software that would allow you to note down any pc components you might have lying around (which I doubt are too many people.. xd). The main reason why I am making it is 1) To make this app, as I would personally appreciate something like this and 2) To learn XAML and practice C#. This is my biggest project and I hope that it will help atleast someone one day. If you find this project cool be sure to stick around!
