GenresFox

Hello everyone, I'm zayoka. A few days ago, I posted about this project on Hacker News and got (rightfully) slammed because I said I used WASM in the title, but the repo only had Vanilla JS at the time (I had pushed the wrong branch). I took the feedback on board. I didn't argue because facts are facts—they're unchangeable. I spent a weekend finishing the WASM core and merged it in. Now, v0.4.0 has officially been pushed: Pure Rust: No wasm-bindgen, no image crate. Just std and manual pointer arithmetic. Tiny: The binary is about 12.8KB. Smart: Automatically enabled only for images larger than 20MP to bypass V8 GC stuttering. Auditable: See SECURITY.md for proof of an empty dependency tree. I hope I can regain everyone's trust. Thank you to everyone who has starred the repo. Your support is my biggest motivation to keep going. After all,

Regarding how this project came about - I got quite angry when a browser new tab extension I frequently used got poisoned/had a backdoor implanted. Thus this project was born. As there are still some issues currently, everyone is welcome to provide suggestions and report bugs. It's been open source on Github for a while now - if anyone's interested, feel free to check it out. Thank you all, and happy holidays to you.

There really is WASM now - if you don't believe m

There seems to be some non-working code here: https://github.com/zayokami/GenresFox/blob/main/src/image-wo... , which even if it does work, means that this uses WASM specifically for resizing the wallpaper... Not sure why that would ever be needed.
