  • fyne

    Cross platform GUI toolkit in Go inspired by Material Design

  • Project mention: How One Experienced Software Engineer Learns a New Programming Language | dev.to | 2024-05-16

    The CPU monitor dashboard layout was fairly straightforward using the fyne.io framework. Like most GUIs, you create all your display objects and widgets, add containers for structuring the objects in columns, rows, and grids, and then place the containers into a window. I set up some control buttons with associated functions that get invoked when they are pressed. I also set up some label widgets to display specific CPU fields and data. I decided that it would be simpler for displaying memory if I pre-formatted memory in blocks of strings before placing them in containers. I created an UpdateAll() function that the controller called whenever it had new data to display.

  • Project mention: Release Radar · April 2024 Edition: Major updates from the open source community | dev.to | 2024-05-03

    It's like Prometheus, but for logs. Okay it's not really to do with the Norse or Greek gods, instead Loki is a horizontally-scalable, highly-available, multi-tenant log aggregation system inspired by the open source project Prometheus. Built by Grafana Labs, Loki is designed for ease of use. Instead of indexing the contents of the logs, Loki provides a set of labels for each log stream. The latest update includes query acceleration with Bloom filters, native OTel support, Helm charts, and more. Check out the changelog for all the major changes and deprecations.
