Presentation and thanks!

Hi there,

First I'd like to thank you for this awesome distribution! I have been running KaOS since last october without any issues and I am really impressed by the quality and the stability of this distribution. Performances are also pretty good! This is the first time I actually enjoy using KDE!

I've been using Linux since 2010. I started with Ubuntu and then did a lot of distro hopping. I discovered KaOS on a manjaro forum and decided to give it a try. Now I feel like I'm at home with KaOS and I don't plan to change anymore!

The only Gtk application I am missing is NuvolaPlayer (https://tiliado.eu/nuvolaplayer/) but I've started to work on a Qt5 alternative: ;)

Hello demm

> Since no equal to Nuvola is in the repo, your app is Qt5, it certainly is a candidate to be added to the KaOS repos.

Woaw that would be cool :)

The app is not ready yet. At the moment, there is only one supported cloud service : grooveshark. And there is no preferences. But it's already fairly stable (e.g. I have used it at work during the whole day). I think I might have a first alpha version before the end of the month (with at least a second service implemented (maybe spotify ) and a preference dialog for changing media player shortcuts).

One question: is the compatibility with KDE4/Qt4 important for KaOS? I am using KGlobalAccel to get the media keys working but I guess I would need to port the app to Qt4 to be able to link with KGlobalAccel on KDE4??

Great! Exactly what I wanted to hear ;)

I'll let you know when a beta version is available.

Hello,

A first beta release is available in the release section on github:

Should I package it first to KCP? I'd like it to be easily installable before I create a topic to introduce the application to the KaOS users...

Great! Feel free to open an issue if you have any problem ;)

Great, thank you! I'll wait for my mirror to sync and tomorrow I will create a new topic to talk about the app.

Yes of course! :)
