About the project

My first real contribution to an open-source project! It is a Wayland desktop shell built in Rust with Zed’s GPUI framework.

I ended up there because of how exciting I find GPUI and its various usages. I’m working closely with the very friendly maintainer, @andre-brandao; we’re working hard and aiming for a coverage comparable to Quickshell.

Also I made all the visuals for the project, that’s why you see so much of them here. More content related to the shell itself is coming!
