NodeUI is a launcher application inspired by Android's lock screen pattern. You can designate different paths through the nodes to activate different applications.
For example, in the video, the path Down Right -> Up -> Left
launches gnome-calculator, while Down Right -> Up -> Up would
launch gnome-screenshot. I have commonly-used applications (gnome-terminal,
nautilus, chromium) mapped to shorter paths (Up, Up Right, Down). The
list of applications can be configured via assets/config/applications.json.
For now, the current applications.json just has my testing configuration.
The keybindings can be modified via assets/config/config.json. The current
control scheme is a mix of numpad, nethack (vi), WASD, and arrow keys. You can
also configure the hotkey to open the launcher. In the future, I plan to add a
couple esoteric input mechanisms (like the Leap Motion) that will hopefully bring
the NodeUI closer to natural interaction.
Also this is still a work in progress. I will put build instructions up here once it is stable enough to use on a daily basis.
