What's everyone working on this week (9/2026)?

New week, new Rust! What are you folks up to?

Hey! This is my first time jumping into one of these threads.

I'm currently working on PaintFE, a multi-platform photo editor. I'm a software engineer mostly experienced with C# and Windows, but I'm migrating to Linux and using this project to dive deep into Rust. The main goal is to build a solid, lightweight substitute for Paint.NET.

This week, my main focus is on overhauling the UI to make it smoother and less clunky, and starting work on a new vector-based text tool.

I'm still navigating the Rust ecosystem, so I'm always open to feedback or pointers if anyone wants to take a peek at the code: https://github.com/kylejckson/PaintFE
