Hi Linux Lemmites. Recently finished up school and started working full time and kind of miss working on personal projects. I’m looking to try to make something in rust and try out gpui if I can figure it out or maybe egui. I also want to make something maybe even a handful of people would actually use as I find that motivating, so I ask what would actually be useful to you?
Edit: thank you all very much for the input, I think that maybe doing something akin to a “settings+” would be a fair target for me for a n initial project. If I make anything interesting I’ll make another post in this sub.
How about a utility for generating and/or handling QR codes?
EDIT: as there are tools to generate QR codes, how about a tool to handle them? Scan and present the option to open any associated links/display data
GUI for Pipewire configuration. Being able to reliably change the sample rate and buffer size without having to mess with config files would be nice.
Three finger drag in Wayland, a new gui for opensnitch where i can isolate network activity by app like little snitch
I wish Stonesense was better and more stable. Im just glad it is still maintained though.
(a tool to view dwarffortress’s forts)
