Absolutely this is worth packaging for KDE.

Although I imagine if you don't have the motivation to make it in the first place, you likely don't have the motivation to package it.

I've got Opus crunching on it now, will update when I have it finished and published

Edit:

https://github.com/Zetaphor/whatcable-linux

Running on my Fedora KDE machine right now. Also includes a CLI so you could wrap your own widget

I still need to figure out publishing, doing this in between work meetings.

This is so cool that we can port useful stuff like this in minutes, thanks for sharing!

I packaged it for Arch Linux AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/whatcable-linux

[vzaliva]

I do not use KDE and wanted just command-line version of it without any Qt dependencies, so I've burned some tokens and produced just that:

Sorry, I'm late to the party but there's no rust port yet, so ..

Thanks to the previous implementers/clauders.. I don't take any credits.

I have Claude working on a port to Intercal. Says it may take awhile, I'll post updates when they're available.

Is this the human centipede of programming?

[TeMPOraL]

Yes, as long as there are humans reviewing and quality-gating the outputs at every stage.

Otherwise, it's just a very long exoprosthetic digestive tract.

Seems so.

--> GnomeShell/js --(claude)

https://github.com/abrauchli/usbee - it uses the rust port so I feel it's a legit addition to the centipede ;)

[pimeys]

Interesting. GPT-5.5 implementation was simpler with Python and a QML code.

[Zetaphor]

Python was a choice offered during the ideation phase but I chose to go with the C++ implementation

[techwizrd]

I am happy to package it and port it for Gtk/GNOME today.

[darnir]

If you end up doing that, please post it here. I'd be a very happy user of that extension

[mfkp]

Also happy to test it out on Gnome

[_blk]

https://github.com/abrauchli/usbee - still missing some features but it's a start. Happy to take PRs.

[pimeys]

I feel like this is so lazy bothering maintainers for it is not great.

[marmarama]

No need to bother maintainers, just package it up and upload it to the KDE store as a Plasma extension. Then it can appear for download in "Get New Widgets" in Plasma edit mode. Plenty of "lazy" widgets in there.

Making something has a well-defined end. Packaging something for distribution is an easy way to walk yourself into a long-term commitment.
