pAHKlight - Your Lightweight Guide to AHK libs+classes+tools

[joedf]

Well, if you do remove it one day, remind me to save a zip file of it, because I like it, it's lightweight.

This looks like an awesome idea! I love AHK but there are so many things I don't know how to use (yet) - I didn't know there were libs to access GDI+ or to parse JSON and "YAML" (some new dialect of XML?). So to have access to a searchable resource like this would totally rock. I think it'd be great for intermediate-to-advanced users (like me) as well as for noobs. Anyway, just wanted to respond to the topic so you know you got one more guy interested

@joedf: Since you are working on this again recently - what would you say the current state of this project is?

[joedf]

Yes haha, I must say that production has been very slow...
The Local-Client is more or less nearing completion. The Network/Website still needs work but it does work. Actually, the whole is quite functional for some time now... Package submission and installation both work. It is mainly User Accounts/Registration and Package searching/database that needs to be worked on.

For those interested in pAHKlight + awesome-AutoHotkey - here is discussion on how to possibly integrate the two https://github.com/hi5/pAHKlight/issues

Has this been brought up and considered in the last two years? I envision it being like npm for NodeJS

[joedf]

I know.... I have aspdm set up too http://aspdm.ahkscript.org/
But I think the issue is setting a userdb or connect to autohotkey.com
I love pAHKlight because it is so much more lightweight, possibly this summer I could have this setup, talking to tank, hardening the php and whatnot

This repo...

Linked to this thread...

The project highlighted in that repo...

Is it still being actively worked on somewhere;
Or at least occasionally still discussed?

[joedf]

I'd say it's on pause. The server side needs work: setup logins w/ ahk forum, more efficiently organize and deliver packages. Client side could have a have console-based version...
But largely, it does work on both ends, but it hasn't been "plugged in" yet... so to speak.

[BoBo]

Would love to see that happen ("Winter is coming!")

[joedf]

I think the web side of things needs to be improved. It's not very "scalable" in its current state. :/
Likely, we do want a github-based backend.
I'll take volunteers, completely open-source...

I look the look and feel of https://packagecontrol.io/ - https://packagecontrol.io/about (managed by python it seems https://github.com/wbond?tab=repositories ) - I don't think the graphs with installs and stats are required but I just like clean look - AutoHotkey example https://packagecontrol.io/packages/AutoHotkey

I found this to somewhat interesting as well: https://winget.run/
