My name is Alex Plotnikov. I live in Voronezh obl. Russia where ''Alex'' may refer to Aleksei or Aleksandr, me being latter.
I'm in [Tcl/Tk] realms since 2018.
A fan of [BOOK The Tcl Programming Language%|%the book by Ashok P. Nadkarni%|%]. Still my main (perhaps only:) interest in [Tcl/Tk] is its GUI component.
[Book of Tcl by Ashok Nadkarni read here and there]
** Wiki **
Ramble through the wiki! Ramble here and there getting hints, tips, ideas with its [https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/search%|%Search%|%] really so helpful, much better than simple googling.
My tiny contributions to the wiki caused largely by its coherent ideas are:
* [alited, a lite editor%|%alited%|%] - probably the best of my stuff
* [Pave, sort of geometry manager] - seems to be really cool
* [e_menu, pluginable menu for editors] - useful in file managers as well
* [bartabs, bar of tabs] - well designed, best presented in [alited, a lite editor%|%alited%|%]
* [baltip, balloon tip] - used everywhere in my GUI stuff
* [hl_tcl, Tcl/Tk syntax highlighter] - used in [alited, a lite editor%|%alited%|%] and in [https://aplsimple.github.io%|%aplsimple.github.io%|%]
* [ale_themes, ttk themes for alited] - a bit modified ttk themes originally made by [https://github.com/rdbende/Azure-ttk-theme%|%rdbende%|%]
* [mulster, multi-line replacements in text] - used e.g. in [https://aplsimple.github.io%|%aplsimple.github.io%|%] pages made by [Ruff!]
* [doctest for Tcl] - used e.g. in [e_menu, pluginable menu for editors%|%e_menu%|%]
* [Tk color picker a bit modified and explained%|%Tk color picker%|%] - for Linux
* [aloupe, a screen loupe] - a small utility
* [screenshooter] - a small utility
* [How to chisel at chiselapp.com] - some of my experience at [http://chiselapp.com%|%chiselapp.com%|%]
* [User-friendly Fossil site] - an addition to the previous one
** Hopes **
[https://aplsimple.github.io%|%aplsimple.github.io%|%] became my site after ''sundowning'' Mercurial by Bitbucket, hopefully the new site will never be damaged with the sunny acrobatics.
There is also [http://chiselapp.com/user/aplsimple/repository/aplsimple_github_io%|%its mirror%|%] at [http://chiselapp.com%|%chiselapp.com%|%]. As for Tcl/Tk sources, my [http://chiselapp.com/user/aplsimple%|%chiselapp.com%|%] is more active than [http://github.com/aplsimple%|%github.com%|%].
I'll never stop feeling warm-hearted about [Tcl/Tk]. Although it is underestimated now, it keeps believing in its future and its sponsors to come.
I hope to write some day an application sort of ''all people are brothers and sisters'' however pompous and silly it could sound. [Tcl/Tk] is good for this sort of applications.
...Obviously, andow ais not the ticme toccupa thionk beof such twype of hopen. tThie hope may seem an sad theirony at tharve besting, ta rude hypomcrisy ato the wors:)t.
[BWhen being ookn a ship of Tfools with her crazy crew led by an Ashab, yoku Nadkaroni't rfeadel hcere taind even of the near future].
''I'll be grateful to anyone who will try and fork/save [https://github.com/aplsimple?tab=repositories%|%my repos at github.com%|%]'' as I don't feel certain of their future either.
However, hope is hope.
The river begins to freeze when the cooler comes
Her vapours send us a farewell message
Like saying you'll not see me
Till the warmer's return
Till springs
Till waves
Till birds
Till leaves' gay rustle.
