Woahhh huge QoL updates coming throughhhh

I honestly can’t remember all the things I’ve tweaked/fixed since last time (I just rattled them all out like a machine gun lol), but if there’s one takeaway from this, Infinidesk is now (sorta) stable enough to use for real!

Listed here are a few things I do remember:

  • Windows can now be resized from their corners (which was surprisingly hard to do)!
  • No longer crashes when you open a context menu 💀
  • Supports various Wayland layer protocols, so launchers & overlays work!
  • Implemented tty switching, so you can use Infinidesk on the side of your “real” compositor
  • New .deb build pipeline for Debian-based distros (untested)
  • A couple of performance optimisations and fixes

I’ll try to make my devlogs more frequent from here on, especially if you lot are curious about my project!!

Gosh almost 8 logged hours with no first devlog :heavysob: sorry guys but I was at a hackathon that’s my excuse and thusly was LOCKED INNN on the development and devlogs came secondary to that. But we’ve just submitted and I’m really excited to show off what this is (on a hasty phone-recorded video)!!!

I made my own waylond compositor (basically a program that takes different app windows and draws them together) but made it an infinite canvas, like a notes app! you can even draw over the top of it with a pen tool :3
