The application was written in Typescript, is using MUI, Electron and takes advantage of a crucial overlay dependency written by SnosMe called (electron-overlay-window). Without his work this project and a lot of others wouldn't be able to exist.

Wayland support would be really nice, but keybindings and the overlay doesn't work right now. Regarding the overlay, i think Wayland bindings would have to be implemented in react-overlay-window.
