COSMIC Viewer v0.2.0

Smoother scrolling. More tools.

* New Set As Wallpaper feature.
* Move images to the trash or delete them directly from the gallery.
* 15 built-in themes (Nord, Dracula, Catppuccin).
* New custom FlexGrid widget using Taffy fixes scrolling & keyboard nav in the gallery.

COSMIC Viewer got quite a bit of work done this week. I fixed the slideshow known bug, the image focusing keyboard navigation bug, and implemented galley scrolling with keyboard navigation. The next thing on the list is to start tackling basic image editing, rotate and crop.

COSMIC Viewer Update: I have resolved all known bugs with this project. Additionally, I’ve implemented keyboard navigation for the gallery and added the road map/todo list in the README.md file.

Testing and feedback are welcome!

The image viewer is nearing a point release, and is now ready for users to start testing.

For installation instructions, visit codeberg.org/bhh32/cosmic.... If you find bugs, please file a report. If you have feature requests, submit an issue or comment on existing ones.

Excited to share an update on my COSMIC Viewer application.

The application has been updated and is mostly functional at this point. Screenshots are available in the README for a closer look.

Packaging of the COSMIC DE 1.0.0 has begun for AerynOS! I’m so excited to be part of the AerynOS and COSMIC Desktop story! Hopefully, I can get the PR ready tonight to have it added to our volatile stream repo!

2 days to the COSMIC Desktop full release! Who else is super excited for this?!

Trying my hand at self-hosting my own Forgejo instance! I’m checking out this free and open source alternative to GitHub! So far.. it’s better than GitHub has ever been, but also familiar. Hope I can make this work and only have my GitHub only have my showcase projects. Anyone else tried this? Tips?

Just launched a new tutorial on Rust FFI interoperability with C and C++. Your feedback is welcome, and I trust it benefits someone in need! Struggled to find up-to-date and clear resources on this topic, so I hope this fills the gap. Check it out here: bhh32.com/posts/tutori...

Real question, if you are a Windows or macOS user, what would it take for you switch permanently to a Linux distribution?

@weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social I’d like to see a show about getting away from trying to steer the country away from big tech companies. There are open source alternatives that are just as good or better that the software that they are delivering. I am a huge advocate, and am a contact for this topic
