I do use AI as part of the workflow and I try to be transparent about that (see hangar.blue/ai also in the README). But I wouldn’t describe the project as vibe coded. Deliberate design, review, and iteration behind everything. It’s collaborative, not autonomous. I'm new to Linux with a lot to learn.

🚧 Expect downtime today for hangar.blue domain and landing page! Migrating from DigitalOcean to Cloudflare. Builds will also be moving from Spaces to R2 soon!

I would eventually love to—but still have a way to go!

Still a lot to do to hit feature complete, but would love any feedback you have—always feel free to DM! Hoping I can get back to it this weekend!

I’ve been building small browser extensions for a few years, and I finally put them all under tinyextensions.com. They're open-source and privacy focused (no analytics, tracking, telemetry, or data collection). I’ll use this account to share updates, new releases, and what I’m working on next.

If you want to follow along, I’ll be posting progress here.

You can learn more at hangar.blue and if you want to get involved, the repo is available on GitHub at github.com/sethcottle/h... ✈️

Hangar is my first native Linux app. I’m building it slowly, in the open—shipping nightly 🦉 builds and stable releases as I go.

My goal is to learn the fundamentals, ship carefully, and build a Bluesky client that feels polished, meticulously crafted, highly accessible, and genuinely Linux.

Screenshot of a desktop app’s Settings page with Display selected. The right panel shows Appearance with a Color Scheme dropdown set to System, a Post Text Size slider, and a preview post card below. A left sidebar shows navigation icons like Home, Mentions, Activity, Chat, Profile, Likes, and Search on a purple gradient background.

New nightly build! 🦉 A few dialog UI improvements and some additional settings. Grab the latest build at hangar.blue

I’m keeping a very high-level feature overview, including implemented accessibility improvements, as well as a roadmap for what’s still planned here:
