I have a background in macOS applications, back when it was Objective-C. I have always loved native apps. When i decided to start Halloy the goal was to create a native application for multiple platforms, and for that Rust is perfect.

if you type /mode it should show the mode next to the channel name. this should happen automatically - will look into that. i'll also add the nick-user mode next to the input field. a few has requested it.

I like it a lot. But by saying that, don't get confused by the overall state Rust GUI applications are in: immature[0]. I have a background in native iOS and macOS development and this is another game. However I have not regretted choosing Rust for this project. I wanted to natively support both Windows, Linux and macOS and at the same time learn the language. This was my first proper Rust application and I've learned so much.

The limitation Iced has have actually done something good for the simplicity of Ajour. People are liking this simple look because the application is just a tool. There is no need for fancy animations.

Hi everyone, author of Ajour here.

Ajour is a World of Warcraft addon manager written in Rust. The main reason I started this project was to take my Rust skills to the next level, and avoid using the bloated Twitch application. Truth is, this is my first real application in Rust, and what a journey it has been. There's still features missing, a few bugs here and there and many places were I could optimize the code but all in all, I am very proud the current state.
