A Shameless ripoff of Pomotroid. That I am creating to practice my Rust skills and to try and learn Slint
Current Status
A lot of the foundation has been laid, but this is not fully functional software yet.
Screenshots
Reasons I started this project
- Wanted to practice rust
- Wanted to try a GUI and picked Slint
- There are a handful of things I haven't tried doing before
- Tray Icon
- Cross platform conditional logic (such as handling the tray icons on Windows and Linux)
- Doing some unusual stuff with Slint, like manually re-creating the window frame
- But has a limited enough feature set that I might actually complete the project some day.
Why Mimic Pomotroid?
It seemed like a relativly nice clean design, and I don't claim to be the best UI / UX Designer in the world. Copying someone elses design allows me to focus on learning Slint and practicing Rust instead of struggling to come up with a good design. It also gives me a target to aim for, for example trying to figure out how to animate a path in slint instead of giving up quickly and modifying the design to suite what is easy.
