look at the dhash method please, just for the kotlin style

and this gives some background information http://www.hackerfactor.com/blog/?/archives/529-Kind-of-Like-That.html

@ron It looks... imperative. And there is nothing wrong with that, really... But it could probably be done more elegantly with a more functional approach.

hmmz imperative........

A few weeks ago, Edvin wrote about wanting to have weekly TornadoFX posts. I blog a lot myself, so I figured I could help by synchronizing my activity with his to produce a regular and repeating stream of content for the project. I suggested something like -hash-tornadofxtuesday so that our efforts might pack more of a punch on social media. If anyone else wants to help, reply. I wasn't planning on any format, topics, reviews, locations, or standards. The goal is to generate more interest by the casual user and to keep TornadoFX in the back of their mind for future projects.

@ron I think I would have written it pretty much the same way you did 🙂

Yeah, we're hoping to have more of you guys collaborate so that the community puts out content on a more regular basis 🙂

Carl and I will try to get the ball rolling

I stumbled on that article and I really wondered if that dhash is really that simple and fast

I had more troubles resizing the image to the 9x8 then the algoritm itself

well once my site is up again, I had some nice things there, tornadofx wise

first I have to see what Apache pivot is 🙂

It's basically... JavaFX 🙂

It even has FXML.

It was all the rage a while back, but they kind of "sold" it like a HTML5 alternative via applets.. And we all know how that went.

There's a familiar name on the "Who are we" page: http://pivot.apache.org/who-we-are.html 😎

It feels and behaves pretty much like JavaFX in every aspect, only it doesn't rely on JavaFX.

my security settings make it impossible to run the webstarts 🙂

Yeah, it's almost abandoned these days I think, so they didn't keep up with deployment etc

But I think the UI framework is sound.

last release was in july

does it have observables?

@ron There wasn't any new features or anything I think. They just updated because of a show stopper with the JRE or something.

Here is the code, if anybody wants to take a look: https://github.com/apache/pivot

yeah but does it have observables like javafx?

I think so. Wonder if they don't use the JavaFX observables actually. Don't quote me on that though. But we could reimplement those if we saw fit. Come to think of it, I don't remember/know if they have CSS support. That might be a show stopper and a huge thing to make from scratch.

if they dont have observables it might be done with rx?

I think so.

I think it’s best to see how javafx shakes out in the coming months with Java 10; if javafx starts to trail off then I’m with you

In any case it's a large undertaking, but it's good to have a backup plan.
