Whiskers Launcher is a keyboard app launcher for 🐧Linux and 🪟Windows that aims to be easily customizable and support extensions. The app is built in 🦀 rust and svelte using tauri to get the best possible performance (as a web app). This app was born to fill the gap between a good launcher that supports Linux and Windows.
