An OpenGL based progress bar that lets you know when you should really go home after a long day :clock10:
Time to Go Home :clock10:
Go Home is a small OpenGL based progress bar widget for your Desktop that displays for how long you have been working each day. This is helpful for people who tend to loose track of time and thus do overhours when they actually wanted to leave home. I made this to learn a bit about simple OpenGL programming using the Go programming language.
Installation
Precompiled binaries
You can find precompiled binaries at the releases page of the GitHub repository.
From Source
Go Home is packaged using Go modules. Since this is not a library
but a runnable application within a main package you need to clone this
repository first. Typically this should be done outside of the $GOPATH or Go
will complain due Modules being enabled.
After you cloned the repo you should make sure to install the external dependencies (i.e. OpenGL bindings) as explained at the GLFW repository. There is a Makefile to install the requires libraries on RedHead/Fedora.
Afterwards you simply use go build or go install and Go will fetch the
correct Go dependencies for you:
$ git clone https://github.com/fgrosse/go-home.git

$ cd go-home

2019-06-16 13:16 INFO go-home/config.go:54 Loading configuration {"path": "/home/fgrosse/.go-home.yml"}

Usage
You can start the program without any arguments which will create an undecorated window that displays when you started the program the first time today and when its time to go home. The default configuration assumes you are working 8 hours a day and do 1 hour of lunch break.
As time goes by the progress bar will slowly fill up from green to red. If you are working overtime it will start to pulse red to catch your attention. At this point you should leave home and enjoy your free time with your family and friends :relaxed:.
Configuration
Go Home reads configuration from $HOME/.go-home.yml. If this file does not
exist on the first start it will be created using sensible default values.
The available options in there should be pretty self explanatory.
