Tempus is now at v0.5.x — subjects, colour-coded stats, and real sound

Been building my GNOME Pomodoro timer since the v0.2 post. Quick rundown of what's new.

  • Subjects. Tag any task (Thesis, Work, whatever), each gets its own colour.
  • Stats grew up. Today, Week, Month, Semester. Today by task, the rest grouped by subject in matching colours so you see exactly where your hours went.
  • Sound got real. Beep is gone. Proper chime on start and end, volume slider, and you can mute the start sound.

Still Python, still GTK4 and libadwaita, still no settings you'll never touch. Tray mode is next.

Flathub submission is in progress. For now, build from source or local Flatpak, both in the README.

A star helps a solo project more than you'd think. Feedback welcome, especially on the stats view.

I built a lightweight native WhatsApp client for Linux with Rust + Tauri (Open Source)

Hi everyone

Over the past few weeks I've been learning Rust and Tauri, and instead of following tutorials I decided to build something I'd actually use.

The result is WaLinux—a lightweight native wrapper around WhatsApp Web designed specifically for Linux.

GitHub: https://github.com/theany-org/WaLinux

Why I built it

I wanted a simple WhatsApp desktop client for Linux that felt more native while also giving me a real project to learn Rust and Tauri.

I'm still a student and definitely not a Rust expert, so this project has been a huge learning experience.

Current features

  • Native Linux notifications
  • Session persistence
  • Window state memory
  • Better download handling
  • Scoped Content Security Policy (CSP)
  • Lightweight with low resource usage

Why I'm sharing it

There are still lots of things that could be improved, and I'd love to make this a community project.

If you're interested in Rust, Tauri, Linux desktop apps, or just want to contribute to an open-source project, I'd really appreciate your feedback or pull requests. Even small contributions like bug fixes, documentation improvements, or feature suggestions would help a lot.

I'm especially interested in hearing:

  • What features would make you switch to a native WhatsApp client?
  • Any code review or Rust/Tauri best practices.
  • Ideas for improving the Linux experience.

Thanks for taking a look! I hope someone else finds it useful too.

I’ve been working on Tabularis, an open-source desktop database client for Postgres, MySQL and SQLite.

It’s meant to be two things at once: a comfortable everyday SQL app (editor, notebooks, charts, visual tools) and a safe bridge for AI agents that want to read your schema or run queries, without you having to paste credentials into a chat.

Free, open source, runs locally. Would love your thoughts.

I built an audio converter for Linux. Let me know what you think.

Named sonifiQ, the app is vibe coded, but I did as best as I could so far. Built upon Qt C++, app is very fast and has parallel jobs.

NOTE, tested Arch Linux package and AppImage. Please let me know how it works on Eb and RPM based distributions.

Tired of your current clipboard managers? try yanklog!

I know there are a bunch of clipboard managers out there, but would appreciate if you try my app as well which you can use both for linux and macos.
