Hi Linux Lemmites. Recently finished up school and started working full time and kind of miss working on personal projects. I’m looking to try to make something in rust and try out gpui if I can figure it out or maybe egui. I also want to make something maybe even a handful of people would actually use as I find that motivating, so I ask what would actually be useful to you?

Edit: thank you all very much for the input, I think that maybe doing something akin to a “settings+” would be a fair target for me for a n initial project. If I make anything interesting I’ll make another post in this sub.

    Markdown is so crazy that it is supported everywhere on the Web yet there are no good desktop apps to do what you describe.

    I use one from the snap store that let’s you go back and forth like you describe, but to change the font or print you have to expoet to a different format…

    I forget what it is called but it is a gnome app.
