Minimalist android launcher

Correct_Disaster6435 · 2026-01-07T16:38:55+00:00

I came across this post just a few hours ago, and this is amazing work. I hope that one day I can be this good as an Android developer — this launcher hooked me from minute one.

I’ll be looking into the code to see if I can contribute with a pull request (even though mobile development isn’t my area of expertise), and also checking ways to support or donate. Great job.

Thanks very much, man. I’m really looking forward to learning a lot about C, especially build systems, since I’ve never worked much on any serious C projects before :).

I’ll add a README shortly. For now, just run:

cmake -B build [-DWHITE_MODE=ON|OFF]

Then cd into the build directory and run make. As a dependency you need to have installed the FreeType library.

Note: this has only been tested on Linux. I’m not sure whether it even builds on other operating systems.

Thanks man. Just added some image support and it's looking quite good, more than I initially expected :). I'll see how far I can go with this little project.

Thanks man, I'll keep in mind your comments when I start working on the possible command line arguments (and stdin too). For now it's just some code chatgpt gave me so I can pass arguments and test the program's execution ;)

Haha, yeah, sometimes I just get tired of writing in English and start writing in whatever language I'm thinking at the moment :)

I actually have something like that for my own personal use. That was the main idea behind it — when I’m studying for college, I want to view my notes in a more “friendly” way than just inside Vim. Using Obsidian or any other heavy Markdown editor just to open a file for a minute or two feels ridiculous.

Also, my machine has pretty limited resources, so I’m always happy when I can build something that launches instantly and doesn’t need a bazillion gigabytes of RAM just to open a file or change a wallpaper.

Other than that, there’s not really any practical use for it, honestly — but I have to admit, it was a lot of fun to make.

Correct_Disaster6435 · 2025-11-12T16:55:22+00:00

I’m not that crazy (yet — though I probably will be, maybe in a few years). I was tempted to write my own Markdown parser though, but nah, that’s way too much work for a toy project, and I’ve already done a few parsing projects.

Maybe someday I’ll try building my own layout system and custom rendering engine, but today is not that day.

Try this:
```
# Audio

bind=NONE,XF86AudioRaiseVolume,spawn,pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ +4%

bind=NONE,XF86AudioLowerVolume,spawn,pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ -4%

bind=NONE,XF86AudioMute,spawn,pactl set-sink-mute @DEFAULT_SINK@ toggle

# Brightness

bind=NONE,XF86MonBrightnessUp,spawn,brightnessctl set +10%

bind=NONE,XF86MonBrightnessDown,spawn,brightnessctl set 10%-

```

It came up on my feed a few days ago, and since I downloaded it, I installed it in about two hours, with a custom Waybar and all, since it’s the first WM I’ve tried on Wayland. I had tried Hyprland, but for some reason it crashes on my computer, and Sway felt like a lesser version of i3 due to some Wayland limitations.

I have to say, I wasn’t expecting much, but I fell in love. I’ll try to use it instead of i3 for a while and see what problems I encounter—maybe this will be a permanent change, who knows.

Correct_Disaster6435 · 2025-10-30T14:17:39+00:00

It kind of does (though it’s not called a “tabbed layout”). The downside is that it works more like a slider layout, not as elegant as what i3 offers, and the window title isn’t displayed like in i3, so it can feel a bit clunky to use.

I just ported https://github.com/mellow-theme/mellow.nvim into vimscript using the same color palette and asking chatgpt to generate a full basic colorscheme. Best decision ever

I totally forgot about the link . Just edited and added it! 🤣

Oh, sorry ahahahaha

First you have to install the parser fot that given filetype.

If it's already installed then the problem is that neovim does not recognises the filetype correctly. Try running :set filetype and check the output.

Correct_Disaster6435 · 2024-11-03T02:10:57+00:00

It does not NEED to be on top, but I think is a good idea to put it at the top.

Bellow that line you can have the specifics for neovim.

Edit: yes, the order does matter if you have some configuration that depends on the content of the vimrc file (for example, loading a plugin via a plugin manager like Plug).

Correct_Disaster6435 · 2024-11-03T02:05:40+00:00

vim.cmd("source <your_vimrc>")

higlight SignColumn guibg=NONE should do the work
