Re: [riot-devel] Interest in Graphical Custom IDE / Development Environment / Networking Tool for RIOT (?)

Hi, 

Interesting and promising project. 
I have some experience in Qt development, is there a GitHub or something for 
the project ?

Hi Alex, 

Thanks for answering. 

The development is on GitHub and I will prepare it to share the link
soon [a day or two]. 

I've got a lot of paper notes with wireframes of features and windows
that I would like in it that are not in any other software at the moment
to my knowledge. 

As you can see I've taken one or more Qt examples and I'm busy
transforming them into an MVP: 

The advantage of using Qt for this type of project is that as we know
it's great to be able to display packets and data in realtime as they
come in and web apps aren't great for that as far as I'm aware. 

Forgive all the Qt toolbar buttons. These and all the code to make
everything work properly will hopefully happen sometime. On the
toolbars, there will be upload / build / make / send / monitor type
buttons related to project and packet/stream type communications. 

Regards and thanks
