Minions

Intro

Minions is a productive tool to help your daily works, e.g.

• Quickly search on google without switching to browser first
• Quickly get the translation of selected text in a web page
• Quickly launch a desktop entry
• Quickly ...

It's like a launcher, but more than that. It's simple, elegant, and yet powerful and extensive.

Get Started

Download latest AppImage from Release page, chmod +x it, then run. Or if you have rust installed, simply clone this project and compile with cargo.

Status

Minions is in beta, but usable. Feedback and contribution are welcome.

Why

• I miss LaunchBar in OS X after switching to Linux
• I want to learn rust by writing some projects
• I do not want to use cerebro (it's un-unix-y and it uses javascript and it uses electron)

How-to build

• cargo build --release
• or ./build_appimage.sh
