UI Mulligan

Last week we went from a single form looking UI to a multi-tab setup sheet, the end goal is to make a WFRP character logging system that looks something like this program: https://grapevinelarp.com/

I think today I am going to scratch the UI work we did the last 2 weeks and start working on what I want it to look like in the end:  A Multi-document interface based around the way that grapevine looks.  I have a lot of friends that are involved in an organization called One World by Night which is a world wide network of World of Darkness Live Action Role Playing games that all play in a shared universe.  In the past 15 years I've played in game, and even run quite a few, all which used Grapevine. I am by no means attempting to knock the work of Adam Cerling on Grapevine but over the years I, and others, have found things that I would like to see improved or changed.

Grapevine is an extensive application which I want to tackle in the long run and create a replacement for, but I want to do it from the ground up, I do not want to take Adam's work and build on that code, I would like to create an application that is wholly mine, though inspired by his work.

You can join me tonight, and every Wednesday night starting between 8-8:30pm EST on twitch.tv/darkxilde as I stream the development of a Warhammer Fantasy Character Generator, and logging system.
