Recently, I found myself searching for a polished motivational app for Linux, but everything I discovered either required using the terminal or had interfaces that felt outdated. Knowing the wealth of wisdom available in fortune-mod’s databases, I decided to create Fortunate, a modern graphical interface that delivers inspiring quotes throughout your day, while giving me an opportunity to explore GUI development with Fyne.

    I know I shouldn’t feed the trolls, but it’s right in the blurb.

        Yeah I intentionally did something a bit more basic for the example. There are over 450 custom fortunes included, about half are actual quotes from famous people in history.

        Not to mention the thousands of existing quotes from classic fortune packs.
