.
Hopefully, it’s the last devlog before the 1st Ship of this Project

also i couldn’t get tinywl working, will try it in next release 0.2

Thanks for following the dev till now!

Devlog (No.8)

NeneUI is an Server Side User Interface Rendering Library allowing developers to design user interface purely server-side without worrying about updating the code everywhere

I’ve thought of more useful features and added them as well, and you will love it

Here are the list of the features i’ve added

• File Uploads!!
• Breadcrumbs
• PropsReplacement
• Improved Nene HTTP
• ColorPickers!
• Some Docs
• Image Memory

File uploads was the hardest part to do, it took a lot of time debugging and working around
then there was loading image from memory i had to figure out what to do, so i just made it to load the selected file from memory

Known Funny Issue: Please don’t try uploading a GB worth of file, it freezes up your system, i think i may try writing an exception that prevents 500MB+ file being uploaded otherwise it’s disaster

I’m planning to ship 1st release by next blog soon enough, working on it from now on so it would be easier for everyone to use it

Here’s the Screenshot

WOWOWWOW, Finallly own package manager???

New Features

• iproute2
• iputils
• systemd-confs
• RX Package Manager

About the RX Package Manager

• The package manager is currently written in dart
• It currently stores packages at /var/lib/rxpkg/vol/<package>/<version>
• It symlinks it to main /, So it would be better i thought
• there’s also rxbuild . command to build .rx package it’s kind of like PKGBUILD

sample bash build.toml

version = 1

[build]
system = "autotools"

out_of_source = true

configure = [
    "--prefix=/usr",
    "--sysconfdir=/etc",
    "--localstatedir=/var",
    "--disable-nls"
]

make = [
    "-j${NPROC}"
]

install = [
    "DESTDIR=${DESTDIR}"
]

#sample bash manifest.toml

name = "bash"
version = "5.3.0"
release = 1

arch = "x86_64"

license = "GPL-3.0-or-later"

description = "GNU Bourne Again Shell"

homepage = "https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/"

maintainer = "Ramix Team"

depends = [
    "glibc>=2.43",
    "readline>=8.3",
    "ncurses>=6.6"
]

Run rxbuild . and there you go your bash.rx package!!

You can find the latest ISO in my github release page!

Run it like this in qemu

qemu-system-x86_64  \    
       -cpu host \    
       -m 2G \    
       -cdrom Ramix.iso \    
       -netdev user,id=net0 \    
       -device e1000,netdev=net0 \    
       -enable-kvm 

Share your feedbacks in Comments section, I love it

https://github.com/kwe26/ramix-lfs/releases/tag/0.1

QEMU Command

qemu-system-x86_64 \    
       -cpu host \    
       -m 2G \    
       -cdrom Ramix.iso \    
       -netdev user,id=net0 \    
       -device e1000,netdev=net0 \    
       -enable-kvm

And it will startup!!!

Other Changes

*since we had prepared GCC and Compiler Enviorment inside the Chroot, from now all the new libs, programs will be compiled inside the chroot now with the inclusion of scripts_chroot and invoke-chroot.sh *

Finally, It can Now Boot on QEMU

Steps i followed to make it bootable

• First i Compressed the Rootfs into rootfs.squashfs
• Created an Initramfs with Busybox to mount and switch root to squashfs
• Grub to Boot into Kernel using the Initramfs.

There’s still some issues with GCC not working properly due to Pass 2 Compiler not being compiled

QEMU COMMAND

qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu host -m 2G -cdrom Ramix.iso -enable-kvm

NeneUI is an Server Side User Interface Rendering Library allowing developers to design user interface purely server-side without worrying about updating the code everywhere

I’ve been thinking and working on new features which would make it possible for NeneUI to be used productionally by all the developers

New Features

• ForEach Widget Support to ForEach Terms

Column('#forEachTest', {
    mainAxisAlignment: MainAxis.start,
    crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxis.start,
    foreach: true,
    children: ForEach('#forEachW', {
        varToForEach: "testMap",
        namespaceVar: "testMap",
        child: Row('#roWCh', {
            children: [
                Text('#TextABC', {
                    text: Var({
                        template: "Hello, %1 (%2)",
                        variable: "for.title,for.gender"
                    })
                })
            ]
        })
    })
})

The Code ForEach will only work inside children:[] where multiple widgets can be rendered
Such as Row, Flex, Table

• Frame Widget

Frame('#frame', { framePath: "/ui/test" })

This Widget Functions just like IFrames in HTML to render something inside another page

• Table Widgets
  The Table Widgets Include Table, TableCell, TableFooter, TableRow, TableSize

• DatePicker Widget

DatePicker('#dtp', {
          mode: PromptMode.dialog,
          defaultDate: DateTime.now()
})

PromptMode and DateTime are now integrated within Core.ts

• JavaScript Code Execution!! YOU CAN NOW EXECUTE JAVASCRIPT CODE TOO!!

DoAction(Action.JAVASCRIPT, `console.log("Var: "+getVariable("#userName.controller")); action('${Action.SHOW_TOAST}', Date.now() + ' Hello World ' + getVariable("#userName.controller"));`)

Currently Using flutter_js which in turn uses QJS behind the scenes

Modifications

• Image now supports Variable URL Support as well
• showScaffold Flag has been added to Daikon Renderer for Frame

Planned Stuffs

• ListView and GridView Support in Future Updates
• Usable JS Features
• OTP Input and More Shadcn_flutter Widgets

Thanks for Reading!!!!

Today I’ve Compiled Basic GCC, Make, GNU Bash And Coreutils, Kernel Headers

I’m trying to Get this to around usable-state Distro as TUI and SystemD!!

Compiling GMP required an Patch for GCC 16 Which i found on Gitlab, I’ve referenced it on Repo.

My Goals

• Get it Boot on QEMU
• Basic Internet Access (i doubt)
• QuickJS & Python

Beyond Current Goals

• X.org/Wayland Support
• A Basic Desktop Manager
• Support for Real Hardwares

Forgive me for the Logo, I’ll create an proper one in time being

Context for thoose who don’t know: I’m making an Server Side Rendering Library, Where You can Update your App without updating the entire app everywhere. Write in JS, Works in FLutter
.
Updates: Add New Widgets such as Card, Image, Feedback Widget (CircularProgressIndicator, LinearProgressIndicator, Button), Add Actions for Simple Reactivity
.
It uses the ID_Database to Manage Visibility of Widgets (Demo Given), The Actions can also invoke Navigation Push and Push Replace. and Also Show TOAST!!
.
Hope to see more coming changes soon to make it productional use ;) 😋.

Thanks

Devlog #3
.
Context for thoose who don’t know: I’m making a library that can render user interface for flutter from JavaScript, You can also refer it as Server Side UI Rendering, Where you can update your flutter apps without Updating the entire app.
.
I’ve finally made it to parse and render the User Interface in Flutter, I’ts really minimal right now.
.
I’m focusing to add more Widgets and stuff and reactivity of widgets in the end.
.
There’s lot more things coming ;;33😉

I have partially done the flutter renderer, haven’t tested it yet. will continue working tomorrow.

Hi there,
I’m working on a Server Side UI Rendering Linking Flutter and JavaScript.
.
You will write the code in javascript and it will be converted into JSON, which the flutter will parse and render. it is much more effective than WebView Apps.
.
And Since it’s Native means Native Performance too.
.
Currently I’ve only added few widgets in TypeScript only.
.
Scaffold, Center, Container, EdgeInsets, Expanded, Padding, SizedBox, Column, Row, SingleChildScrollView, Flex, Text, TextStyle
.
And Some Enums as well.
.
I’ve not made Flutter Renderer Yet. The lib/* currently looks like.
