Hi Linux Lemmites. Recently finished up school and started working full time and kind of miss working on personal projects. I’m looking to try to make something in rust and try out gpui if I can figure it out or maybe egui. I also want to make something maybe even a handful of people would actually use as I find that motivating, so I ask what would actually be useful to you?

Edit: thank you all very much for the input, I think that maybe doing something akin to a “settings+” would be a fair target for me for a n initial project. If I make anything interesting I’ll make another post in this sub.

    FAR manager (clone of Norton Commander) might be worth giving a look. Not a GUI, though, it’s TUI but responds to mouse.

    On Debian, sudo apt install far2l and then run far2l.

    BTW, to add ssh-agent authenticated scp connection, press F11, go to NetRocks and create connection. in the dialog you’ll need to select the protocol to scp and then auth method in “protocol options”. you can edit an existing connection by going back to the connection “directory” and using F4 on the connection. Once you connect you can copy/move files back and forth.

    Along with scp it supports eg. smb, nfs and davs.
