I just do not see it as an either/or situation, whether for an app or for data storage, desktop app or cross-platform app. I offer clients options of cloud providers or on-site servers. 99% of the code is the same, with modules to connect to various cloud services or to an on-site server. The read/write module for data I/O is selected by a state variable for the particular project. I can set up the local server or configure for cloud service. In any case I encrypt the data and back it up elsewhere. You end up with situations like China does not allow anything from Google, so it is Microsoft cloud services or local server. Some clients like Google platform. I can advise but do not make the final decision. At the end of the day it is a customer preference.

Have a look at NthDimension Github repo for my C# OpenGL 3.0 deferred rendering framework.
The codebase has grown quite a lot. It could use a few contributors.

I love graphics. As soon as I get the door refinished (contractor fail), the roof replaced (hail), the deck re-done (on me), the kitchen renovated, 3 bathrooms tidied up, and the master bath/bedroom overhauled, I'll get back to you.
Just bury me in the backyard.

Seriously, it's a constant battle with entropy. The good news is that there are no destructive yard apes in the house anymore.

A good introduction to your work could make a nice article (and maybe get you a couple of volunteers more). Have you consider it?

Yes I actually have and this is actually the plan. There is a lot of ground to be covered, from engine initialisation to scene and materials setup. It will be quite a long article but it is definitely necessary. So thanks for the advise and please stay tuned!

Then write several articles as a serie, giving more focus to one aspect in each of them

A series of articles would indeed be more appropriate. Thanks again.

You are welcome
It is easy to give work to others... I suppose that's why there are so many "such" bosses

I had set up Windows 10 to do this, and sometimes it works, but typically it doesn't.  The last time it didn't warn me, the whole system shut down - and since I was in the middle of saving an OpenOffice document, that whole document got wiped (i.e., all zeroes), and I couldn't even recover it with Recuva. For whatever reason, the HP battery plug doesn't seem to want to stay in its place. (I should say that my regular use of the system is as a "bellytop".  )
So now I'd like to get an app that would run in the background (including starting up when Windows boots) and give me these warnings.

I can't help you with the battery thing, but I can help you with your other issue... How to Change Auto Save in Open Office | Chron.com[^]
Personally, I hit CTRL + S at least once a minute.
I never really have to because I don't think I'm still using software that DOESN'T have auto save, but I'm paranoid like that

That's not paranoia, that's hard-won experience. I routinely hit Ctrl-S or Ctrl-Shift-S almost every time I stop typing.

You can write one easily enough. I wrote a little class to monitor batteries and it was/is very simple. I am certain you can find others, likely even on this site.

Not sure if it does alerts, but give BatteryBar a try. I use the free version. I see it's on sale and really not expensive, only $4.

And one of them, long ago, actually gave me a choice. Her or the computer. Guess which one is still here.
