Majestic is a sample GUI client for use with another sample server using gRPC as its interface. It is written entirely in C++ with the help of Qt Widgets. It also makes extensive use of CMake for build automation.
I started this project as a means to extend my knowledge in the realm of C++, including the language itself, the Qt framework, CMake, and other extensively used tools and APIs. Through the journey, I also reported a bug in Qt Creator and helped discover another (more discussions here and here).
- Argon2 for hashing user passwords
fmtformatting library, as the project uses C++17 entirely- gRPC
pkg-config- Protocol Buffers
- Qt 6
You may run cmake.run from the command-line. As I use a Mac, CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH is set to the default Qt installation on macOS. You may change it accordingly.
Afterwards, you can run ninja.run to build the app. You can then find it as build/Majestic.app.
