BluePaw 0.2.0

BluePaw is a desktop client for e621.net.
This app is in very early stage; it's basically tech demo, so aside just viewing single posts, there isn't really more functionality right now.

Downloads

Note: application is currently available only for Linux, but versions for Windows and macOS are planned in near future.

Get the application here

Links

Future development

BluePaw is gonna meant to be a feature-packed app for both regular and advanced users, especially site contributors.

I will appreciate Your suggestions for features, UI (re)designs and any other.

I'm also on site's Discord, so You can ping me there or send private message anytime.

Notes

I'm generally rather inexperienced with programming and this is my first "real" project, so I'll appreciate feedback about my codding methods, style, etc.

My English is also not so great, so if I misspelled something or write it in "weird" way, go ahead and tell me ;)

Release 0.2.0

I currently have very limited time as I'm gonna have a lot of exams in college for the next few weeks, so not much work has been done.

This update is rather small, but it contains some valuable improvements. While for now there shouldn't be expected many updates, the next one will be rather big so don't worry, I'm not abandoning the app ;). Also, work on porting app to the Windows has been started, so many more people will be able to try it out.

I've also added a few screenshots of an app.

Added

  • Basic preferences window
  • Support for themes; app can use light, dark or system default theme
  • Posts search bar in a search page

Changed

Fixed

  • Blurry thumbnails in search results
