Weekend Projects #2: Simple Qt Text Editor

The second project is now complete* and here is the publication of that project! This one turned out to be a bit more complicated than I had been expecting, but it was mostly a result of trying to make sure I implemented all of Notepad’s feature set properly. This *still* isn’t completely done, for example I need a preferences system above and beyond Notepad to allow users to change the time/date format that is output upon pressing F5, but that will be for later.

Download and try out the software from GitHub here.

Tour of the Project

I wrote a set of documentation on the docs Wiki here at kirhut.com. You can find it here. Just look that over for how to use the software, it is not very complicated.

The Next Project

The next Weekend Project is already decided: A Simple File Hashing Application! This application will primarily use Crypto++ to perform file hashing, however there will also be a custom MD5 implementation included in the project, since MD5 isn’t fit for security purposes anymore and I already have a custom MD5 implementation in C++17 that would be great to show off!
