A Shameless ripoff of Pomotroid. That I am creating to practice my Rust skills and to try and learn Slint

Current Status

A lot of the foundation has been laid, but this is not fully functional software yet.

Screenshots

Reasons I started this project

  • Wanted to practice rust
  • Wanted to try a GUI and picked Slint
  • There are a handful of things I haven't tried doing before
    • Tray Icon
    • Cross platform conditional logic (such as handling the tray icons on Windows and Linux)
    • Doing some unusual stuff with Slint, like manually re-creating the window frame
  • But has a limited enough feature set that I might actually complete the project some day.

Why Mimic Pomotroid?

It seemed like a relativly nice clean design, and I don't claim to be the best UI / UX Designer in the world. Copying someone elses design allows me to focus on learning Slint and practicing Rust instead of struggling to come up with a good design. It also gives me a target to aim for, for example trying to figure out how to animate a path in slint instead of giving up quickly and modifying the design to suite what is easy.
