The app now opens on the login screen when there is nothing else to show
— no local paths and no configured library — and goes straight to the
images otherwise. Making someone click past a login they already
completed is pure friction.
launch.slint imported by app.slint, replacing the window rather
than overlaying it: there is no library to look at
until an account is configured
launch_ui.rs the Slint wiring, kept out of lib.rs so the launch
flow can change without touching the develop window
Login runs on a worker thread and posts results back through a channel,
since Slint's event loop is single-threaded and a 20-minute browser wait
cannot block it. The system browser is opened via xdg-open, never an
embedded webview (FR-NC-1).
Sign-out deletes the local credential even if server-side revocation
fails: a network error must not leave a usable secret on the machine.
Format tick-boxes persist on each toggle, so a selection survives a
crash before the library is opened.
Two things deliberately incomplete rather than faked:
- "Choose folder" lists the account's folders and reports them, but
there is no picker widget yet, so selection still happens via the
connect example.
- "Open library" logs the request. Opening a remote library needs the
scan-and-cache path, which belongs with the catalog work in flight.
Earlier I broke the other in-flight dr-ui work by calling
slint_build::compile twice, which replaces the generated module. The
correct wiring is an import inside app.slint, which is what this does.
30 dr-ui tests passing; both launch paths verified by running the app.
DarkRoom
A cross-platform, non-destructive RAW photo editor for Linux and Android.
Status: early. v0.1 is a remote library viewer — see docs/milestone-v0.1.md.

Building
Desktop:
cargo run -p darkroom-desktop
Android (containerised toolchain, see docker/android):
./docker/android/build.sh cargo ndk -t arm64-v8a build --release
Current state
Working: workspace, GPU context and compute pass, adaptive Slint shell, Android cross-compilation of the core crates.
Not yet working: the zero-copy display path. The build currently uploads frames through the CPU, which is exactly what ARCH §6.1 forbids — measured at 96% of frame time at 4K. Replacing it is spike S1, the project's highest priority.
cargo run -p dr-gpu --example bench --features readback
reproduces that measurement.
