I’ve been using a custom version of paleofetch for NixOS for a while, but I decided to write my own clone of neofetch in Rust when I heard about the archival just for fun.
It has (or I suppose will have) parity with everything neofetch can output, supports dynamic plugins, is super fast bc compiled, and looks up information using asynchronous fetches. It’s configurable via a config file (JSON) to choose what you want to show (I think this is better than using CLI options for this kind of app).
I have the app’s framework/architecture up and running, I just need to finish implementing the rest of the data lookup and add more distro logos.
Once I get the data lookup feature complete, I’ll make the repo public so people can add their distros’ logos and use it, but I’m treating this as more of a pet project, so I doubt people will be that interested in using/contributing since plenty of other fetch programs exist, so I don’t care if it lives or dies; it’s just fun to make things :)
Tenatively named fetch-rs, but I’m sure something like that already exists.
