# Why does this exist?

Primarily because i wanted to have some fun writing a shell, But also because other solutions don't quite do a good enough job for me


The sysshell launcher exists as a way to preserve memory instead of launching every sys* program independently.


This is one of my most ambitious projects yet and i'm unsure if i'm capable of finishing everything i've started,

Contribution is most certianly welcome!

# Future plans

Create a screenshot overlay


Create a polkit/keyring overlay


Optimize existing stuff as much as possible, At the moment the focus is on features


Either rewrite major sections of code with more up to date C++ practices/stuff or rewrite in pure C


Split/Handle shared code via a common library to reduce duplicate code
