Hello everyone, i recently published a post about this app launcher (https://programming.dev/post/41551778) and i released version 0.2.0

Many useful features have been added, such as a configuration file and custom themes, and performance has improved

Ram usage is ~20 mb

Here are some highlights of the app launcher:

 Starts up in about ~0.1-0.2s

 Written using the Iced GUI framework

Renamed from Flux to Stryde

Hello everyone! I decided to create an application launcher inspired by Raycast, but for Linux - Stryde

I built the first version in 4-5 days and wanted to share it with you to get feedback, both good and bad.

Some highlights:

~0.1-0.2s opening time

~35MB RAM usage

Written in Rust using the Iced GUI framework

Instant search filtering

Supports Breeze, Papirus, and Adwaita icon themes

Works with system apps, user apps, and Flatpaks

Current features in v0.1:

Search and launch applications

Press Enter or click to open apps

ESC to close

Caching

Planned for v0.2:

Arrow key navigation (Already did it)

Built-in calculator for math expressions

More customization options

I'm 14 and this is my first major open-source project. I'd love to hear your feedback on features, performance, code quality, or any bugs you find.

Tested on Arch Linux with Hyprland, should work on most distros

Hope you have an awesome day!
