TODO

Real Time Audio (for music production)

https://github.com/musnix/musnix

Refactoring

• move the git commit script thats floating around
• move the service definition for the startpage into the user dir, its ugly defined in system and reaching into hardcoded user dir for config files

Add theme to cli-visualizer

command is vis, takes a config file with a theme

https://github.com/dpayne/cli-visualizer?tab=readme-ov-file#configuration

Add custom icons of some sort

Change workspace icon when new window opened

like if I click a link and it opens a tab in FF in another workspace, that workspace icon should get a highlight. I think its called urgent or something

Add theme to audacity

seems to have a "Custom" option for theme

Configure spicetify

https://github.com/the-argus/spicetify-nix lets you specify custom colors in nix

Already installed this, works well with preset themes. Now need to make a stylix theme

Add secret management

either

https://github.com/ryantm/agenix

or

https://github.com/Mic92/sops-nix

Hardware only stuff (can't really config in VM)

• Multi monitor outputs
• Bluetooth (should be configured already)
• Virtual machines (should be configured already)
• Backlight control (already have module but need to test)
• Hibernation/sleep

Seahorse won't import SSH key

Could not display “<key_name>”
Reason:	Unrecognized or unsupported data.

is it because the keys aren't in .ssh? I don't think that's been an issue before

Emoji fonts rendering as colored emoji

I have emoji font specified in stylix as Symbola, and fonts.fontconfig.defaultFonts.emoji = ["Symbola"]

I have symbola and noto-fonts-monochrome-emoji installed, which both seem to be showing in gucharmap

It's just not changing the system emoji font :(

Neovim config

What is the best way to declare my complex lua based neovim config?

Qt Theming

Ongoing discussion on Stylix github, how to access these new features?

danth/stylix#367

Build UI Elements

Window switcher

to switch between windows on all workspaces

Fancy logout/shortcut/power menu

on old system it was build with rofi, but this will change

Set up Hyprland

hard to do in a VM since it runs like shite

Improve waybar media playing module

maybe this third party one https://github.com/raffaem/waybar-mediaplayer or just hack on it

Add waybar desktop notification toggle

maybe adapt https://github.com/vkraven/swankybar to toggle notifications instead of adaptive sync

Further modularize config

Some of the config and package files can be further broken up, ie. turning science.nix into a directory with .nix files for each discipline.

Misc

• cava continues to hear audio even when system vol is muted
