Looks really cool! Gives me similar vibes as EDEX-UI[1]

I think they're trying to be a bit too clever, with vim being the retro part and "futuristic" being used to signify contemporary/modern/IDE-ish.

Not really how retrofuturism actually works, as that would imply that a part of the editor would be how people in the past imagined the future to be. Which would be an interesting concept, but I'm not aware of any kind of editing interface like that. Too menial for pop culture. Retro-futuristic image manipulation would be in Blade Runner, but text editing?

Maybe the Tron 2 quasi-Emacs ;)

Strange that nobody on this thread shared the amazing eDEX-UI project: https://github.com/GitSquared/edex-ui. A full open-source sci-fi terminal emulator inspired by Tron Legacy.
There's edex-ui for linux systems. (https://github.com/GitSquared/edex-ui)

I've not personally used it so I can't speak to how functional it actually is but it has a very similar feel to it.

This is really cool, great job!

I'm thinking about integrating this in edex-ui ( https://github.com/GitSquared/edex-ui ), here's how it looks like so far, redesigning pop-ups: https://imgur.com/a/4oABPAT

I use viewport units (vh, vw) in my CSS to ensure everything scales to different screens/resolutions; so far augmented-ui seems to handle that very well.

I currently have three around the apartment attached to the network:

One running Seafile (https://www.seafile.com/en/home/) with an old laptop hard-drive connected via USB enclosure. It acts as my own Dropbox. I mainly store notes and photos on it and sync them to a few other devices for redundancy. It also has a Samba share with all of my music and has an open vpn server so I can connect to it from anywhere.

One with a HiFiBerrry Digi+ hat (https://www.hifiberry.com/products/digiplus/) connected to my sound system via toslink running an MPD (https://www.musicpd.org/) server. I can control it with M.A.L.P. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.gateshipon...) on my phone. This one also has a 7" touch screen (https://www.amazon.com/Raspberry-Pi-7-Touchscreen-Display/dp...) which I use to sometimes display ncmpcpp (https://github.com/arybczak/ncmpcpp) inside edex-ui (https://github.com/GitSquared/edex-ui). This one also acts as the living room clock with an USB LED message board (https://www.amazon.com/818-Dream-Cheeky-Message-Board/dp/B00...) controlled by dcled (https://github.com/Conservatory/dcled).

Another with a GPIO breakout and breadboard with an individually addressable LED light strip attached. I got the idea from this Adafruit tutorial (https://learn.adafruit.com/light-painting-with-raspberry-pi/...). I wrote a program in Python to make it softly glow between random colors and sync to any beats-per-minute.

This should probably point to the GitHub repository itself: https://github.com/GitSquared/edex-ui

Unlike the article, the GitHub repository mentions the Windows and macOS releases.
