Recently, I found myself searching for a polished motivational app for Linux, but everything I discovered either required using the terminal or had interfaces that felt outdated. Knowing the wealth of wisdom available in fortune-mod’s databases, I decided to create Fortunate, a modern graphical interface that delivers inspiring quotes throughout your day, while giving me an opportunity to explore GUI development with Fyne.
What’s the point
A lot of people have trouble getting motivated.
Your comment made me chuckle a little bit.
I ask myself that same question every day. What’s the point of anything? Do I really need to get out of bed, get to work, eat food, climb out of the debt trap I’m in or even browse Lemmy?
Something like this could help ease that daily question from myself. If it doesn’t work, it’s fine. Worth a shot. Free is cheaper than recreational drugs.
If it truly helps you that awesome! Your comment gave me a chuckle too, thanks for writing
I know I shouldn’t feed the trolls, but it’s right in the blurb.
I’m not trolling. I read it but the example quote seems generic. Honestly wondering what this provides
Yeah I intentionally did something a bit more basic for the example. There are over 450 custom fortunes included, about half are actual quotes from famous people in history.
Not to mention the thousands of existing quotes from classic fortune packs.
Here, you’ll probably like this book: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8qUyTkGux7eYkNES2gtNHBLcFE/edit?resourcekey=0-hxPdlh0Y1k6UnRqKYV-2iA
Thanks, I’m happy now
