help-circle






  • I wasn’t thinking about applets but more about full-blown libcosmic applications.

    Gnome Circle bas a lot of very simple apps that do just 1 thing and weight a couple MB each at worst.

    With iced such an ecosystem would be at 20MB per app, so simple " don’t 1 thing and do it right" apps would be less scalable. And I doubt you would want to have all of gnome circle as a multicall binary.

    This is not relevant to this specific post but does anyone know how if the static linking used in Rust is an issue with cosmic?

    The last time I tried building a small app with Iced it was pretty bing (20MB) even though it didn’t do much. On the other hand a GTK app in rust easily fits within 5MB.

    Anyway I’m thrilled to try cosmic out as soon as it reached the Arch repos.
