Yeah PyQt5 mostly because it’s boring in the good way.
It’s stable, well-documented, easy to package, and works consistently across distros and desktop environments. I wanted something that felt native-ish everywhere without fighting toolkits.
COSMIC wasn’t a hard requirement it just happens to be what I’m running day to day right now. I wanted to make sure it behaved well under Wayland, system tray, notifications, and COSMIC was a good stress test for that.
The app itself isn’t COSMIC-specific and should work fine on other DEs as well
Edit. I am also working on a rust iced version. Will more than likely be the main one.
PyQt5? And you built it on Cosmic? Any particular reason why you use that?
I think more GUI apps is always good btw, just curious.
