Hi,

I recently uploaded a new version of my rust xdgkit lib/CLI tool.  The
main update is to a backend library fixing an issue with comments.  It
is a minor update, but brings the tool into the full realm of usiblity!

I have been experimenting with various graphics/UI libraries in Rust to
work out the best ways to create my end goal.

I want to build a low resource Panel that will work on any WM/DE to
provide a full XDG compliant way to access programs/files/etc.

The end goal of the low resource panel is to make a "ToriOS-ified" DE
for phones.  There are already projects focusing on this using Sway (a
tiling window manager), so I am sure this work will benefit them as well.

I also decided to make the XDGkit a library as well as a command line
tool.  This way people who want a custom UI can use my tools to still
write their own scripts to do whatever they want.

If anyone wants to try it out, feel free just `cargo install xdgkit` is
you have rust.

There is no `man` page for it, but there is a pretty good --help screen.
