The range could be turned on with a finger and not aimed with one. Its two ends were typed as `YYYY-MM-DD` into 108px fields behind a soft keyboard, to name days already drawn on the axis a thumb away; and the chip that seeds them takes its span from the timeline's zoom and pan, which are a wheel and a middle button. A touch screen has neither, so on Android the filter was a switch with no aim. The band is now on the timeline. Two ends with grips, dragged along the bars, released to filter — the histogram was already how a period is found, and this makes it how a period is stated. Both ends snap to whole days, which is what the typed fields mean, what `show_range` reads back out, and a floor under a range dragged shut. The fields stay for what dragging cannot do: name an exact day, and say in words what the range is. For that to work the axis had to stop following the range. Redrawn to the band, it moved the ground under the very handles doing the narrowing, and there was nothing outside the range left to widen back into. While there: a fixed number of equal bins instead of calendar buckets. Between one calendar unit and the next the bar count is free to wander by a factor of twelve, so zooming in halved it two steps out of three — the same picture drawn wider until it jumped back to fine. Equal bins also include the empty ones, so a bar's position on the track and the date under it are finally the same quantity; before, a library with gaps drew a February six months wide and the marker, the band and a click all pointed somewhere else. The count is a setting, 32 or 64, because the right answer is a question about the screen. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.
