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.

I mean yeah but after using Bazaar a little more, I realized that it would still have the same issue that I'm having with the website. If there are other apps that show Flathub's catalog, I'd be interested in trying them but I never found any others last time I looked. As I've stated before, I don't care too much about how it works, I just need to be able to reliably see every app that's available. At the bare minimum, I'd except something similar to how Droid-ify works for F-droid (a third party app store for android), where I can set it to sort the apps by newest first and then scroll down to the last app I've seen and work my way up. It's tedious but it works.

Got it, I just haven't looked at any of them closely enough to give an informed opinion on this. Both Gnome and KDE (and PopOS?) have their own software store apps that let you browse flathub apps with different features, but I haven't noticed if they do what you're looking for. What you're asking for seems reasonable and useful though. I hope you find something that works.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
