Hi everyone! I’m sharing a project I’ve been working on: a desktop utility designed to streamline the B4X development workflow. It combines real-time forum searching with a DeepSeek powered AI chat in a sleek, "stealthy" interface.
Key Features
Dual-Mode Interface: * Forum Mode: Instant, live search results directly from the B4X.com database as you type.
AI Mode: A dedicated chat interface using OpenRouter (DeepSeek/Gemini) to help with logic, debugging, or code snippets.
Stealth UI Design:
Auto-Hide Panel: The app sits on the edge of your screen and expands only when you hover over it, keeping your workspace clean.
Modern Aesthetics: Fully custom CSS styling, including a transparent undecorated window, rounded corners, and personalized scrollbars.
Persistent Memory: * Automatically saves your chat history to a local JSON file, so you can pick up where you left off.
Secure local storage for your API Key.
Smart Commands: * Added a quick "exit" command in the API Key dialog for faster navigation without needing a mouse.
Smooth UX: * Integrated "GeminiLoader" animation to provide visual feedback during API calls and searches.
Responsive chat bubbles with auto-calculated height and bold formatting.
Technical Details
Platform: B4J (Desktop)
Libraries: jFX, jHttp, jJSON, XUI, JavaObject, and CustomListView.
Styling: Heavy use of JavaObject to inject custom CSS into the Scene Graph for that "modern app" look.
How to use
Search: Just start typing to get forum results.
AI Chat: Click the AI button. If it's your first time, it will ask for your OpenRouter API Key.
Pro Tip: In the Key dialog, you can type "exit" or simply hit Enter on an empty field to close the window.
Clear Chat: Use the trash icon to wipe the history and start fresh.
