Hello Simon, it was nice to hear your talk at the TMX conference yesterday, and I straight away tried to install the Flux. However, my installation (white blank interface) is not as visual as you have demonstrated. When I try to upload write anything, no glyphs are previewed. No preview is active within every action. I can see glyphs once I press look up and mark the particular glyph. When I try to create a class, the program crashes.

From the list 'Building an app on OS X', I am not sure of any of those things. I have tried to check all of them, and it seems allright. But I can't find this through the terminal:
rm -rf dist/flux.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python3.8/PyQt5/Qt/lib/Qt{WebEngine}*

Please let me know how to fix this. Maybe I am missing some libraries? the app doesn't communicate to fontFeatures os something?

Thanks

The README instructs to pip3 install -r requirements.txt but there is no requirements.txt.

@simoncozens, I'm interested in your approach for an abstraction layer for font projects. Do you already have code for that in some repo? It is not clear to me if you already have a thirdparty python library for that abstraction layer, or if you are planning to implement one. This could be useful for font source checks on FontBakery

• Shaping doesn't work at all (!) because of weird youseedee bug.
• Glyph class editor crashes because qtfontawesome can't find its files.

The Flux app opens a file requester, but there is no information what file to open.

I'd expect some hint or documentation somewhere. I can only create new directories. Is the file requester looking for a specific file or is it looking for a place to save files?

I guess that there's a way to package this bad boy as a Glyphsapp plugin, so that the installation process is the same as Supertool/etc.

@graphicore had a funny term for wrapping standalone font design apps as plugins for larger editors, "xenomorphic," based on the chest bursting Alien movie breed ;)
