A simple reminder app in order to learn GUIs, Storing Data, and the concepts thereof
-
This is only (Mainly) built for the GNOME desktop environment on Linux , so issues on other DEs and OSes will likely happen, and if possible, using GNOME and Linux will lead to an overall better experience.
-
This mainly just a passion project, and may go unmaintained for long periods of time(I'll try to keep working on it tho)
-
There have been issues in the past of this not giving notifications, or having them not pop up
-
There is no background service for Rewind yet, it will need to be left open to recieve reminders
Rewind is not in any Package Repos
Install Rustup/Rust from your package manager or preferably from the website, along with GTK4, GTK4-devel, and gcc(or another C compiler of choice), these may be already installed if you've done development on your system. installation will look similar to this:(ex: sudo dnf install rustup gtk-devel gcc, or sudo pacman -S gtk4-devel gcc)
Run the following command in your shell git clone https://github.com/thesillyboi/Rewind && cd Rewind && cargo build --release| sh You can also put the binary in your PATH, finally, run ./Rewind in your shell to use the program(if you don't watch the ./ you'll need it in your PATH).
I will add releases with a Linux Binary, but they may fall out of date
Rewind has not been tested for Windows or OS X:(
