Before someone asks ....

Well pre-empted !
You know the client base well !

TinaCMS-based Cloudron app now exists, but a quick note on positioning: TinaCMS is not an out-of-the-box full-featured CMS. It needs configuring, and Tina themselves mainly document it around content-model/schema setup plus general site configuration.

What I’ve built is about 90% TinaCMS, but configured as a generic, customizable brochure-website editor aimed at non-technical users, rather than e.g. a docs site or an e-commerce site.

The implementation is quite opinionated, so it may not suit everyone’s preferences or use case.

I’m not releasing it as a Community App for general use yet, as I want more testing and a few more tweaks first. That said, if someone has a strong use case and genuine interest, I can make it available on request.

Came across a need to help a freiend with a simple build, so I am attempting a Cloudron package of TinaCMS.

EDIT : alpha version runs - now working on making it release ready

@jdaviescoates oh, yes, rather good point !

Isn’t this a duplicate ? Or it’s an original very close to something else

@robi darn - thanks for the alert - fixed - reload page and click download again

And another on my journey to productivity (will it ever end?)

Scrib

Mac Silicon app for scribble notes

https://scrib.appx.uk

There are some 'breaking changes' on AgentZero from my last community app package. Their v1.15 uses a different architecture.

Deciding now on how to support 'migration' from old app to new app.

If anyone out there is using my CommunityApp, please do let me know.

It might influence how I handle migration ... or whether I even bother and just start fresh (yes, very lazy, but ultimately pragmatic).

App is now signed.

Announcing BarDock ...

Long-time bug-bear for me is switching between Spaces, Stage Manager, Mission Contol, blah blah blah, when you have multiple (like lots) of running apps. Especially when generally I hate depending on keyboard shortcuts (not enough viable w/o mental gymnastics).

So I made BarDock, my own minimal utility (well, why not?) :

• look up to top of screen (whatever screen you're on)
• point (at the running app icon you want)
• click
  No swiping, no keyboard shortcuts.
  The selected running app is brought to you.
  Doesn't matter what Space it is on, whether you're using Stage Manager, whether it has been tiled with another, whether it is on an external display.

Bit difficult to see here because it is intentionally tiny/unobtrusive (clearer on github repo).

MIT licence - reciprocity to Cloudron and OSS communities who I have drawn so much support from.

I will get around to signing the app when I can stomach the process.

@marcusquinn sounds v good

Mac and Windows binaries now in releases if you want to try w/o cloning and building.

@micmc thank you
Windows build now fixed and shortly to be added to repo as installable file.
Easier for people to try out.

@girish no extra api needed.

In fact, possibly not enough used, and architecture needs review.
It's currently all browser tabs apart from the apps list, which is an api call.
I did it that way so apps could be launched in tabs inheriting the browser credentials.
But actually maybe I should have done it with more use of api calls.

Especially as I am struggling to build the Windows version with this approach (not a Windows user), so some review of approach may be needed.

Might have to treat this as PoC and implement in a slicker manner.

Selfishly my itch is scratched for Mac, as it's quite fast, and separated out from other browsing.
But I simply will not have Windows defeat me so I will look at re-working the approach.

The Cloudron portal web UI is great ... except for when you need to switch rapidly between multiple apps to open terminals and file folders (largely due to My Apps list persistence issues).

So I made an alternative for personal use, scratching my itch, which might be of interest to others :

• local cross-platform Tauri/Rust app (Mac silicon .dmg available, Windows exe needs building, instructions in repo)
• authenticates with Cloudron standard login
• apps list always available in sidebar (quick access icons for app dashboard, terminal, file manager and launch)
• quick access tabbed views
• minimal clicking

sorry for heavy redaction but you get the idea

@luckow what a fantastic project ! Wishing you very good luck with it (don't think I have an old pixel though).

@andreasdueren thanks, I didn't know about Nova

Public Repo : https://github.com/slfhstr/dual-pane-editor

@robi yes, lot of text editor apps provide horizontal or vertical splits ... but they are different views of the same file.

I'll organise a repo so people can test it.
Will post repo link here.
