    You can also use a software called weylus, to use the tablet as "writing pad" during online discussions/lectures, it works quite well although still prefer my wacom one tablet for that.

  • winit

    Window handling library in pure Rust

    Project mention: Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here (20/2023)! | /r/rust | 2023-05-15

    That's a bit shortsighted given that there is an active discussion about reducing the interior mutability.

    Project mention: [Media] shrs: a shell that is configurable and extensible in rust | /r/rust | 2023-05-01

    Hey everyone 👋 ! I'm currently working on a rust library for building and configuring your own shell! It's inspired by projects like xmonad and penrose where the configuration of the program is done in code. This means that for example, instead of using Bash's arcane syntax for configuring the prompt, it can be configured instead using a rust builder pattern! The project itself is still at a very young stage, so there are plenty of bugs and unimplemented features. However, some things that are (partially) implemented are:

    Yeah, I already started developing it. I started with Smallvil and then I also found mwm

  • rot8

    screen rotation daemon

    Project mention: I've created an AUR package for Gnome mutter with screen auto-rotation fixed | /r/archlinux | 2022-07-14

    I won't use this since I use Sway WM with rot8 for screen rotation but it's nice to know this exists.

  • ixwindow

    Iconized xwindow module for Polybar (for bspwm and i3wm)

    Project mention: Ixwindow — iconized xwindow | /r/i3wm | 2023-02-19

    Hi, guys! I created a nice module for polybar called ixwindow a while ago. And there was a limitation, that it only worked for bspwm at that time. I am happy to announce, that right now it supports i3wm as well! If you are interested, feel free to check it out here: https://github.com/andreykaere/ixwindow. I hope you'll enjoy using it!

  • gobble

    Project mention: Ad Blocking | /r/qutebrowser | 2023-03-28

  • inputplug

    XInput event monitor daemon

    Project mention: Weird issue with Hyper modifier | /r/emacs | 2023-02-28

    iii) That leaves plug/unplug resetting configuration issue. But you can use a daemon like inputplug (created by a debian dev) to do things when that happens. Personally I have lived through a loose usb keyboard with my sanity intact thanks to inputplug. I also use a bluetooth keyboard now which occasionally has problems, although I admit disconnect after few minutes of idle time doesn't happen here.
