Bloop.

A light weight scratch pad inspired and derived from boop.
The tool aims to be an exact imitation of boop built using web technologies and powered by my own fork of webview-rs, available here

Suggestions

As bloop supports some ligaturized fonts, I suggest that you install these fonts manually! Until preferences are implemented, you are stuck with the following fonts.

• SF Mono ligaturized
• Cascadia Code

How to get Bloop

For the time being the only way to obtain a working copy is to either get the installer or portable binary from here or compile it yourself.

How to build from source

• Install Rust and Yarn

  • Via Chocolatey

  choco install rust yarn

  • Manually

    • Get Rust up and running, from Rust-lang
    • Install Yarn, from yarnpkg

• Installing windows 10 SDK

  • Webview for windows requires the latest sdk to be available on the dev environment.
  • Follow the following guide
  • At the time of writing,

  Windows 10 SDK version: 10.0.19041.0 C++ toolset: 14.26

• Get yarn/npm dependencies
