distilled it down to this.

also headless so you can use it on servers, which has been a popular community request.

#SparkleShare

spent the whole day writing the README.md for the #SparkleShare command line mode.

writing down how I want the flows to work first exposed several flaws in my thinking. and now I have a better picture of what the design should be.

now to do the code adjustments (luckily it's not much :)

this week's app icon is for myself.
guess who's back. #SparkleShare

#linux #gnome #app #icon #design

I will post more details about my plans soon.

meanwhile I’m working on getting Auroras out the door, improve Bobby, and in spring tackle the big fish: port #SparkleShare to #Rust and the modern #GNOME stack.

❤️

alright, almost got the backend for the #SparkleShare #Rust port working.

part for part, the Rust code is a lot more compact, robust, and easier to understand.

did drop some features that just too hacky to keep supporting (client-side encryption) but also added commit signing and per-server keys.

GTK UI next! but first I need to build a computer that can run Linux well natively. :)

I think I have a plan for #SparkleShare. I've been playing with #rust:

+ it's not C or C#
+ #gnome bindings look well maintained. it's even in the kernel.
+ want to learn something new

- it's just weird

after doing some C stuff on #GameBoy/#NES I realise my C# code is a mess. but the algorithm and years of edge case knowledge can be salvaged.
