Possibly, not given it any though.

Smart 🙂 Eyes on the price!

Yeah. I did the same thing a few years back, but in WPF and C#. I even made a small income from it, but when the IoT boom really took hold I got outrun because I was stuck on the Windows platform. That version of the system was used to power Sweden's 3:rd smartest home according to a competition two years back 🙂 Now I'm writing this so that I can run it on a RaspberryPi, but as open source and without any thoughts of profit.

..which reminds me that I need to change the license so that no one can take the source and start making a profit on it without giving something back. MIT is a bit too open...

Which license will you use?

I'm not sure. suggestions?

I was thinking GPL, but I'm not a big fan of it. Too many gray areas

I'm not a license expert, not sure.

Neither am I. Its a tricky issue

I'll run some more tests and prepare for 1.5.10 release probably tomorrow afternoon 🙂

Awesome 🙂

I'm looking forward to start using the squeezebox.

Bet I'll have new questions then 🙂

Good night!

Great! Good night 🙂

@User uploaded a file: and commented: hi all. im currently evaluating tornadofx for building a complex interface for animation similar in appearance and functionality to adobe after effects ( see pic ). from what i've tested so far, it seems possible. but i'd appreciate the opinion of someone more experienced on the feasibility for using tornadofx for something like this. any concerns with performance, theme customizability, custom opengl views, etc? thanks.

@fusepilot I don't see why not. TornadoFX is completely built on JavaFX and provides access to JavaFX API, but in a clean Kotlin-esque way.

If you want your application to be built for the jvm, TornadoFX will probably make it a lot easier.

If JetBrains used Swing to build Intellij IDEA and PyCharm, anything is possible. The only alternative (outside of the JVM) I can think of is to use C++ and QT. But if you are within the JVM, I think TornadoFX is the best option in my opinion.

@thomasnield thanks, thats great to hear. i really like kotlin and was hoping i could use it and tornadofx for this. i also just found out that bitwig studio is made with javafx and it has one of the best looking daw ui's out there. so, time to dig in.

@fusepilot awesome! Keep us posted of your progress

@fusepilot Custom OpenGL views will be a bit more complicated due to some inherent limitations of JavaFX, but not impossible. The rest is great.

@Ruckus hmm, good to know. ill have to look into that before proceeding. thanks.

@carlw put me onto something that I've never thought about before, but for which today I suddenly got a use case for. Normally I just bind a tableview to a set of items, but now I need to bind the items property to a property<list> so that the actual list for the tableview can change automatically. Carl has been doing this before, he even used something similar to this in one of his TornadoFX demos:

@User uploaded a file: Untitled

I just committed a tableview builder variant that lets you do all that with just

tableview(someListProperty)

.

I hate having to declare the type when the compiler can infer it, and doing the binding manually is not my bag 🙂 Hehe.. Another small thing that cleans up the UI code.

I cant wait to see it in action

cleaning up some terrible terrible code

Today I'm working on an Orderline grid editor, and I suspect the TableView control will either come up short or get some nice editing additions.
