Bricolaging' software to improve access with Theia Experiences in packaging plaintext
0Presented virtually by Vivek Gani at TheiaCon 2022.
In my spare time the past few months I've been trying to learn Theia (as a typescript/react newbie) and explore how it can be used to package and possibly improve access to FOSS plaintext accounting tools - specifically beancount ( https://beancount.github.io/ ), Fava ( https://beancount.github.io/fava/ ), and the beancount-vscode plugin ( https://github.com/Lencerf/vscode-beancount )
I've been exploring this pathway of using Theia to develop an alternative to more native-specific apps, cloud-hosted services, more tailored user experiences (that require more tight-coupling / UI investment), and my current experience of installing individual tools that make up a workflow. This will be a quick talk on my experiences so far.
