[okgamr]

yes, i've seen that nobody is making any updates till april, but i'll wait
in the meanwhile you can also try resolving it and, at the release, this should be fixed (if you are working at a bug)

[0x5bfa]

I use C# GitHub API (wrapper of github graphql api & REST api) to retrieve every information. If you don't have any followings and repositories you watch there's nothing to show. Sadly, other information such as Explore and Latest changes cannot be shown because not disclosed as api.

Thanks for the feedback!

I'll add text on the center to tell user there's nothing to show.
The next store release might be a month later, sorry for being inactive because I have study stuff.

[okgamr]

the dingus is, that the other problem is the sidebar: not showing all the repos as seen on web (which are there for contributing, creating issues, etc.), just those that are yours; and also the reload dingus: why does it duplicate the repos???

[okgamr]

oh, and the repos from the sidebar don't open: just click and nothing

[okgamr]

but the links from the notifications work. and the markdown support may be missing a lil bit, plus: can't send comments (seen when trying it right now
therefore, the system has a little bit so much bugs

[okgamr]

sorry for being inactive because I have study stuff.

oh, i see. no problem, i have to study too 😅

[0x5bfa]

why does it duplicate the repos???

I can repro, will fix. Thanks!

the repos from the sidebar don't open

This is already supported in the latest branch but not released. Will be released soon!

markdown support may be missing a lil bit

Yeah I was using Web-based view but it was too heavy to load many comments.
I'm seeking another solution to this. Maybe Markdig or something I will use.

oh, i see. no problem, i have to study too 😅

Thank you!

[okgamr]

I'll look for sth like m-down but for WinUI. I don't really know if, but i think you can use the normal text editing from the WinUI 3 gallery and try to find a converter or sth so on the web it'll be m-down. It's time to google!

[0x5bfa]

Normal editor should work for the time being but I wanna look for more featureful editor(maybe make by myself)

[okgamr]

I have an idea for the main page - maybe some 'last actions' (like commits, issues, etc) for the Dashboard. In that way, it wouldn't be empty

[okgamr]

Oh, wait I missed the thing last done aren't included in api. But it should. If I'm wrong again tell me

[okgamr]

But it should

Then how does the GitHub App retrieves the last things u done?

[okgamr]

Then how does the GitHub App retrieves the last things u done?

Ok, ok, even if the app itself it's originally from GitHub, BUT WHY THERE'S NOTHING FOR THE DEVS

[okgamr]

for me it seems Chinese, but it may be for some help

I ALWAYS KNEW THAT GOOGLING IS WORTH

[okgamr]

I'll comment later here about all the infunctionalities in FluentHub
There are too much of them sincerely

[okgamr]

not changed info at notifications, maybe from GitHub api not asked about updates on notifications about repos

ok, this was already here, but it's not relevant

disabled >:)

couldn't get the language from repos ig

maybe searching for more specific icons? this isn't sth from github, but it'd be fancy if we could have this (a chrome extension already did this)

more disabled >:)

THIS IS NOT LATEST VERSION

already discussed 'bout this 😒

nope, neither file for releases >:)

that's what i noticed as for now, if i find more, i'll post them here >:)

[0x5bfa]

Appreciate them. I really wanna work on because I got about 1k for my app… but time won’t allow me to develop. I will use for the further improvements. You can keep posting here whatever you notice I don’t mind!

[okgamr]

I don’t mind!

wdym by that?

[0x5bfa]

Even if you keep posting your thoughts here, I don't mind and I appreciate.

[okgamr]

ok... i'll see more. and i might do a push few months later to see what i can fix (if i'd fix). Bye!

[okgamr]

this is fluenthub.png file from the repo

and readme is not shown in the repo (aka this:

)

BUT we can see the code of the readme

[okgamr]

o, ye, and the details of the issue

[okgamr]

disabled >:3

and the notifications need this

[okgamr]

i found out this about the material icons for github:

Replace GitHub's default icons with icons from Visual Studio Code's Material Icon Theme icons. Use the same icons on your code editor and on github.com, and quickly identify file types, configuration files and project scaffolding at a glance.

[okgamr]

the pull request is really poor af, here's the github one vs the fluenthub version:

[okgamr]

Normal editor should work for the time being but I wanna look for more featureful editor(maybe make by myself)

found this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/communitytoolkit/controls/markdowntextblock
and this: https://www.nuget.org/packages/CommunityToolkit.WinUI.UI.Controls.Markdown/
use the markdown and winui styles for text, look for how are the exact markdown shown in winui and seek for a converter (this is really bad organised but maybe you can understand what i wrote :)), also i found this: https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/editor/examples/import-export/markdown-import-export/defaultcs.aspx

[okgamr]

just telling you: everything i say here is exactly after school and sometimes in between classes - aka don't worry if you don't have time, cuz i do!
- and also just wanted to note this here

[0x5bfa]

Yeah for now sticking with WebView2 is the best. I disabled them because I introduced that when the control is in preview and it was unstable.

ChatGPT 3.5 answer about 4 minutes ago:

To include Markdown rendering in a WinUI 3 application, you'll need to use a third-party library or develop your own Markdown renderer. As of my last update in January 2022, WinUI 3 itself does not natively support Markdown rendering. However, you can integrate existing libraries into your WinUI 3 project to achieve this functionality.
Here's a general approach:

1. Choose a Markdown library: Look for a Markdown library that supports rendering Markdown content into your WinUI 3 application. Popular options include Markdig, MarkdownSharp, and CommonMark. Make sure the library you choose is compatible with .NET Core or .NET 5/6, which are commonly used with WinUI 3.
2. Integrate the library into your project: Follow the documentation provided by the chosen library to integrate it into your WinUI 3 project. This typically involves adding the library package to your project using NuGet Package Manager and configuring it according to the library's guidelines.
3. Render Markdown content: Once the library is integrated, you can use its API to render Markdown content. This typically involves providing the Markdown text as input to the library's rendering function and obtaining the rendered output, which you can then display in your WinUI 3 application.
4. Display the rendered content: Depending on your application's requirements, you can display the rendered Markdown content in various UI elements such as TextBlocks, RichTextBlocks, or WebView controls within your WinUI 3 application.
   Keep in mind that while using third-party libraries can be convenient, you should also consider factors such as licensing, community support, and maintenance when choosing a library for your project. Additionally, be sure to check for any updates or changes to WinUI 3 that may impact your chosen approach.

[okgamr]

Yeah for now sticking with WebView2 is the best. I disabled them because I introduced that when the control is in preview and it was unstable.

ok

[okgamr]

While WebView2 itself doesn't have native support for Markdown rendering, you can leverage its capabilities to display Markdown content by using JavaScript libraries designed for Markdown rendering within the WebView2 control.

that means javascript

maybe didn't see it. btw i'm not at the bussiness laptop now so i can't see this asap. also, i was telling about the power to make even more organisation

Oh yeah I've been thinking about that page's featuring because most people see that page frequently and it should be featureful.
Was seeing designs from Pinterest and Dribble.

genius 😃

[0x5bfa]

No html and css files, which I already have for FluentHub. What I just need is to use WebView2 control.

[okgamr]

ye, how 'bout this? https://chat.openai.com/share/99563507-743d-4bde-b25b-c9dc869151260
it actually just makes M↓ into c#

[okgamr]

nope, i was trapped:
// Embed the HTML content into a basic HTML template return $@" <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Markdown Renderer</title> </head> <body> {htmlContent} </body> </html>";
bruh, and it uses html to call javascript and invoke markdown

[okgamr]

BUT everything is involved into c#. ig this is for the webview:
// Call the JavaScript function with the Markdown content await webView.CoreWebView2.ExecuteScriptAsync(jsFunction); string htmlContent = await webView.CoreWebView2.ExecuteScriptAsync($"convertMarkdownToHtml({markdownContent})"); return htmlContent;

the chatgpt 4 killer, claude 3 opus, says:

Here are the steps to integrate Markdown rendering into a C# WinUI 3 application:

1. Add the Windows Community Toolkit NuGet Package

1. Right-click on your project in the Solution Explorer and select "Manage NuGet Packages."
2. Search for "CommunityToolkit.WinUI.UI.Controls" and install the package. [citation:6][citation:8][citation:15]

2. Add the Markdown XAML Control to Your Page

1. Open the XAML file where you want to display the Markdown content.
2. Add the following namespace declaration to the top of the file:

xmlns:controls="using:CommunityToolkit.WinUI.UI.Controls"

3. Add the MarkdownTextBlock control to your XAML:

<controls:MarkdownTextBlock x:Name="MarkdownText" />

[citation:2][citation:10][citation:25]

3. Set the Markdown Content in C#

1. In the code-behind file (e.g., MainPage.xaml.cs), find the constructor or the OnNavigatedTo method.
2. Set the Text property of the MarkdownTextBlock to your Markdown content:

MarkdownText.Text = "# Hello, Markdown!\n\nThis is a **bold** text.";

[citation:9][citation:19]

4. Customize the Appearance (Optional)

You can customize the appearance of the rendered Markdown by setting various properties of the MarkdownTextBlock control, such as FontFamily, FontSize, Foreground, etc.

<controls:MarkdownTextBlock x:Name="MarkdownText"
                            FontFamily="Segoe UI"
                            FontSize="16"
                            Foreground="Black" />

[citation:12][citation:23]

That's it! You have now successfully integrated Markdown rendering into your C# WinUI 3 application using the Windows Community Toolkit. The MarkdownTextBlock control will automatically parse and render the Markdown content you set in the Text property.

Remember to handle any exceptions that may occur during the Markdown parsing process and to test your application thoroughly to ensure the Markdown rendering works as expected.

[citation:13][citation:20]

Actually those are what I have tried once before.
I ended up for WebView2. I will use it until new parser gets ready in WCT 8.0.

Ayoo, that month passed so fast, I feel it was yesterday

Didn't I have that? Colored empty box I've added to some pages.

maybe i didn't see it. btw i'm not at the business laptop now so i can't see this asap. also, i was telling about the power to make even more organisation

no, it's not at notifications. can you specify what pages exactly?

didn't see them. actually, i made screenshot of the lack of organization on notifications, issues, pull requests. there was a searchbar, but disabled

[Lamparter]

I've raised this point before but what's the issue with using MarkdownTextBlock temporarily until a suitable MD library can be implemented? It doesn't support GitHub-flavoured markdown as far as I know but has much higher performance than WebView2.

[0x5bfa]

Selecting what you wanna select freely is not supported. It's can be done for just a block. And selecting all is not too.

[okgamr]

just rewrite das code ig, idk if it's sth more markdown than textblock or webview. let's submit a issue on the winui 3 repo :))
