Hello all, I love finding applications that feel minimal and do their job well, i.e. zathura, qview, etc.
Do any of you have applications you feel fit with your swaywm experience well?

I’m sure most folks are aware of the list on Are we Wayland yet?, which has a lot of great apps. Most of the standard desktop ones are already included with Manjaro Sway edition. However, one glaring omission was a calculator app (
bc
is of course included and usable on the terminal, but can be rather cumbersome for complex calculations).Today, I stumbled across a very nice alternative: speedcrunch. So far it’s been working great natively on Sway thanks to being based on the latest
qt5-tools
. Nice fast keyboard-based interface with the option to use a GUI keypad, binary (“Bitfield”) input, support for expressions, functions, mathematical constants, smart completion, complex numbers, and more!Really much happier with this app when compared to the more basic
gnome-calculator
, and even GNU bc (“basic calculator” or “bash calc” as I like to call it).It is not much known but it is an excellent piece of software written in Ocaml: orpie is a Curses based full-featured RPN calculator (like emacs calc).
