It's funny. We had the same idea. I'm actually working on something similar right now: https://atom.io/packages/busy
It's not ready yet, but I'll be looking to use that instead
Any particular reason of having two packages? We could both collaborate on one
Not really no. I had just thought about it for a few weeks and wanted to follow through :)
Great, I've given you push access to the busy-signal
package, which also means publish access on APM. Lets collaborate on just one :)
@noseglid @steelbrain So what happened here in the end?
If I have build and linter installed (as many probably do) I have all this extra stuff clogging up the status bar…
Same issue, bit distracting...
I'm quite sorry for doing this, but since there are still two different packages, and I need my working environment as clean as possible, I created two bridge packages, which pretend to be busy
or busy-signal
, but actually just call the other one's API.
I hope they soon won't be useful anymore, and will be replaced by a single busy
package :)
But for now, they should be useful to resolve the clogging problem...
They should work, but I didn't have enough time to test them thoroughly, so any feedback or bug report is welcomed :)
It's been almost a year. Do we really need two packages and two icons in the status bar? Please, guys, just join your forces, I think users mostly don't care which one to use, but having both is inconvenient (and @rapgenic's workaround is not a real solution).
I actually prefer to have two icons. busy-signal to show processes that end automatically
and busy to show long pending processes that may require human intervention to end
busy-signal
is a base Atom package that allows it's consumers to indicate to the user that something is happening. It has an easy to useAPI
.The main benefit of using it is that it'll make your own codebase cleaner while providing a unified place for users to see if something is happening.
Edit: Here's a bittersome discussion on the same topic that happened on linter repo
