Fortunate: A Modern Motivational App for Linux

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motivational app for Linux, but everything I discovered either required using the terminal or had interfaces that felt outdated.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.

      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.

      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.

      Not everything needs to have a “point”. Sometimes just making things for fun can be enough of a point in itself.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
