🔭 Currently building — two things that spend their whole lives pushing pixels around: one paints your entire desktop, the other dresses up your movie night. Somehow both ended up with something that spins. 🌀

tralireza/ricom · Rust · x11rb + EGL / OpenGL

A clean reimplementation of picom's core, built straight on x11rb + EGL: it redirects the screen and composites every window onto the X overlay with zero-copy texture-from-pixmap, tear-free at vsync — then goes well past the basics.

• 🎞️ A real animation engine, not a fixed effect list — every window open / close / move is a recipe over composable primitives (opacity · scale · translate · spring-wobble · GPU spin · radial ripple · noise-dissolve), live-reloaded from TOML on SIGHUP. Windows boing in, spin out, stretch open, dissolve into embers, or slide off-screen.
• 🪼 Wobbly windows — the Compiz spring-mesh jelly, jiggling to a stop on a dedicated GL mesh path.
• 🪫 Nearly free when idle — damage-driven, with region-level occlusion culling and buffer-age partial repaint; a lone fullscreen window trips unredir and ricom steps aside so it page-flips straight to the display (compositor cost → ~0), then jumps back the instant an overlay appears.
• ✨ The staples, done properly — per-window opacity, fade in / out, soft drop shadows, rounded corners, dual-Kawase background blur, and inactive-window dimming.
• 🧱 All hand-rolled — eight small Rust crates, pure-Rust deps only (x11rb, calloop, glow, khronos-egl, fontdue); the Composite / Damage / Render / Present / RandR plumbing is written from scratch, no compositing toolkit — plus a HUD (FPS / frame-time / loadavg) it draws itself.

tralireza/mpv-spincard · Lua · mpv + ffmpeg

It figures out what you're watching from the file path, then overlays a rich info card built from your local Kodi / Emby artwork and .nfo metadata — no network required.

• 🃏 A card built from your own library — poster, dimmed fanart backdrop, a transparent clearlogo as the title, and a 3/4 disc that spins in the corner; plus title, year, ⭐ rating, genres, plot, and cast.
• 📼 Live file details, straight from mpv — codec · HDR/SDR · fps · resolution · container · size, audio / subtitle languages, chapter count, and a live progress bar with ETA.
• 📺 Live TV, too — point it at Tvheadend and a stream turns into a now/next card from the EPG (current programme + an "Up next" list).
• 🌐 Fully offline by default — everything comes from the files next to your media; optional TMDB enrichment and an hourly rating refresh kick in only if you add a key.

• Lean / minimalistic tmux status line ( ✨ special ✨ ) — .tmux.conf
