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.

Github: https://github.com/dest-lab/stryde

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

Hope you have an awesome day!

    It’s working now, I’ll spend some time with it this week. So far, it seems stable and it responds to my keyboard shortcut. Has run everything I’ve searched for, and hasn’t crashed.

    That’s all in about 5 minutes of testing, but I’ll give it another review in a few dyas when I’ve had more time to put it through some paces.

    Good work so far!
