Thoughts On Starting a New Life
I hope that this is a thought that everybody has had at one point or another. I really really hope so.A quick summary of the development process
It was intended to have many features one would expect from a text editor, many of which one often doesn't think about:- Cursor movement with mouse and keyboard
- Highlight selection
- Page wrapping
- Automatic section styling (Headers, Subheaders, Speech, etc...)
- Predictive section switching
But after a while, the finnickyness of not using a dedicated UI framework for managing the graphical mouse operations within the text and translating those to the data buffers - it became too much confusing and fruitless effort. I was also unwilling to actually convert to using such a UI framework, because I was at the time working in C++ and that just seemed like something I really wouldn't have fun doing. Therefore, in short - I de-made my own app into a CLI only conversion tool. But at least it works flawlessly and effortlessly now.
