  • Artwork display for CLI music player

    It looks amazing I will definitely give it a try. I've already installed kunst, but I've found it crashes a lot.

  • Fontpreview for wayland
    1 project | /r/wayland | 18 Dec 2021
    For example this bash script previews fonts installed in your system. This one uses programs like sxiv, xdotool .There are similiar projects using other programs like ueburzug. These are programs are not compatible with Wayland (natively ofcourse). Is there any alternative for Wayland to preview fonts like that ? Or is it even possible currently ? I would really want to rewrite it for Wayland.
