Oh nice! I used to be a Debian/Ubuntu only person, but I tried EndeavourOS quite a few years ago, and it's been great ever since! Last year I installed Arch the vanilla way, and I had to boot up the USB multiple times, but I finally got things working on it. I'm definitely glad I did the standard install at least once though, because I learned way more things about Linux than I ever would have from installing other distros. I would have an extremely hard time fixing boot issues, for instance, without having installed Arch from the wiki. I know when I installed LibreOffice, the wiki page recommends installing Hunspell for spell checking; I'm assuming it would work with other programs as well?

Interstellar uses Flutter (UI framework) & Dart (language); it's not difficult at all to learn if you'd like to get into it, especially if you've used web technologies before. We're always looking for more contributors if you'd be interested 😉! Anyway, I'll keep you in mind for testing; it's good to know there's another person using it on desktop. I can't make any guarantees for when the desktop improvements would come, just since there's already so much other stuff to do, but I'll definitely let you know!

Ah, you're on NixOS? I haven't personally used it but I have considered it. I like the idea of having the OS stay the same as long as the config is the same. ATM though, I am on Arch.

Still gonna have to see about the refresh thing, haven't tried yet. Been busy ricing hyprland, nvim and fish on a new install.

The refresh button will work on the Feed screen, but there is not one present on most other screens. What we really need to do is add some keyboard shortcuts to the app.

I'd personally like to make some changes to the app that will make it more desktop friendly (e.g., split screen, tabs, keyboard shortcuts, etc.) as the app has mainly focused on mobile platforms up to this point.
