Standing desk research
Notes toward finally replacing the door-on-filing-cabinets setup. One page to hold the requirements, the contenders, and the spec sheets.
Manage your in one place.
File I/O, searching, parsing metadata, generating thumbnails, and most file operations happen in rust background threads, not in page javascript.
Doesn't ship with whole chrome webview, gives full access to Rust, smaller application size, first-class mobile support (wink, wink). Tauri is a no-brainer.
'Insert proselytizing rant here'. Jokes aside, the primary reason for Svelte is it's been my main development framework for the better part of a decade.
A bespoke, open-source, completely custom, and highly opinionated Svelte UI library built by me, specifically for desktop applications.
A source canonical realtime block-based editor for markdown. Open source release in the future.
400+ and growing handmade icons in monochrome and full color specifically made for Phials. Will be rolled into PhoundryUI in the future.
I've been making software for over 7 years, the better part of 4 of them have been building this in my free time (and more recently, full-time). Phials is a passion project built on late nights, my partners infinite patience to let me ramble at her about code, and a lifelong obsession with productivity apps.
AI is a useful tool, and has definitely been a great help in getting Phials to this point, but vibes alone don't build great software. Every decision and every line of code has been thought through with a deep care about how it works and how it feels to use.
I hope it shows,
