  • RIP GUI widgets in JavaScript

    From Nightfox@1:103/705 to All on Mon Mar 23 14:40:53 2026
    Today, I started experimenting with a concept: Having RIP-based GUI widgets, written in JavaScript, which could be used to programmatically create BBS doors for Synchrone that look like traditional desktop applications. Do you think that could be useful?

    I had Claude AI create some RIP-based GUI widgets in JS, as well as a little demo door. I've gathered some screenshots and made the screenshots available in a simple web page with what I've made so far:
