articles – GUI
I often worry about minimizing the size of my GUI applications. My last article was about Nuklear. But now I want more modern technologies: HTML5, CSS3 and PHP. The final application shouldn't depend on anything, i.e. it should be built on the principle of all inclusive. The final size of the application should not exceed 2 megabytes. Is it possible?

articles – Static site creation
Jekyll is a static site generator. That means, that you give some info to it and get HTML pages as a result. It's ok when the site is pretty simple or even single page. What about more complicated websites? Will Jekyll handle it? Will it be convenient? Read More ›
articles – Low level programming
Archivers - it's scary! Huge and terrible algorithms that an ordinary person will never understand! Rar, zip, gzip, tar are modern de facto standards, which means extremely complex and tricky things that you should not try to understand. Well, tar looks simpler, maybe it's not that hard? See git with the sources. We see dozens of files, many of tens kilobytes. Hmm. Apparently, a dead end. Read More ›

Nuklear is a library for creating immediate mode user interfaces. The library does not have any dependencies (C89 only! Only hardcore!). But also does not know how to create operating system windows or perform real rendering. Nuklear is an embedded library that provides user-friendly interfaces for rendering by implemented application. There are examples on WinAPI, X11, SDL, Allegro, GLFW, OpenGL, DirectX. The parent of the concept was the ImGUI library. Read More ›

articles – Qt GUI
The Qt library allows you to make really cross-platform applications. Once written code can be compiled for many operating systems. But the problem is precisely in the word "compile" because it means that it is necessary to reboot to the target system, have a customized development environment, installed and configured zoo of libraries. Cross compilation is a solution - a compilation that produces executable code for a platform different from the one on which it is executed. Read More ›
articles – Vim
All Vim commands need to be entered in English. This is a problem if the main text is entered in some other language because you often need to switch the layout. One of the solutions makes you get used to a new hotkey to switch layout. Also, there are many platform-dependent solutions with the call of various utilities. The goal of the vim-xkbswitch plug-in is to provide uniform behavior for many operating systems and languages. Read More ›
articles – Linux
Double Commander is a cross platform open source file manager with two panels side by side. It is inspired by Total Commander and features some new ideas. It is written in Lazarus - some people think that pascal is a language for learning only. But on the other hand, it is possible to implement support for plugins from Total Commander easily, a little speed up development and give the user a choice of libraries to display the user interface (QT or GTK - are relevant only for Linux).
