Has anyone here tried membrane on windows? I assume the java2d backend works more or less the same as on mac/linux, but I don't have a good windows setup to try.

I thought I had tried Windows when on membrane.term https://github.com/phronmophobic/membrane.term/issues/29!

membrane.term can now run with swing/java2d, but we'd have to choose a pty equivalent windows.

Do you know of a good way to test windows without a windows computer?

I use a https://www.parallels.com/ca/products/desktop/pro/ VM on macOS. But maybe https://www.virtualbox.org/ would be a good free alternative? I remember Microsoft making time-limited OS VMs available for testing purposes, https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/?

Can’t remember, did https://github.com/JetBrains/pty4j work for us on Windows?

phronmophobic20:10:16

oh, interesting.

phronmophobic20:10:32

that would be cool if we accidentally started supporting windows

phronmophobic20:10:54

I doubt it, but maybe

Ha, yeah. I had fun working membrane.term, but I got distracted by other projects, it seems! Hopefully I’ll make it back someday!

At some point, I'd like to write a membrane component that let's you embed emacs as a code editor (which I would implement with membrane.term).
