Simple Gtk+ based comfortable wiki-sites reader for desktop

WikiReader

Cross-platform app for comfortable reading wiki sites. Based on GTK+ and GtkTextArea, writing on Rust. Part of my personal experiments with GUI and GTK. The goal of the experiment is to develop an architectural template for fast application writing using GTK & Rust.

• FB-Flux similar event handling system with MVC impurities (Sync only)
• Python and mwparserfromhell for create wiki-text ast tree
• GResource as container for static files
• Sass for styling widgets and components
• Fluent(-rs) for i18n

Building

For nice view you need have Arc-Dark GTK theme in your .themes directory

wiki-reader's Issues

Create issues for "next features" section

Although the next features section is a nice overview it's quite useless if nobody can contribute to the project because they don't know what to do.

I would suggest creating issues for every point of the "next features" list.
