Rhyolite is inspired by volcanic rock rhyolite, which is a type of igneous rock formed from the rapid cooling of lava.

Rhyolite was a fork of fextify, but was later rewritten from scratch, using sveltekit for the frontend and tauri version was changed from v1 to v2. As of now this project does not share any similarities to the fextify project.

Update: The project is now completely written in rust, and is being rewritten to use the FREYA GUI library for the UI, making the app completely native code with rust.

• The app is being migrated from Tauri(Svelte) to Freya(Rust) based UI.(WIP).
• The 0.1.10-freeze branch has the old code for the old tauri version of the app which will not be maintained anymore.

1. If you want to contribute to the app, you can work on any of the issues that have not been assigned to anyone.
2. Join our Discord server to collaborate effectively.
3. Checkout the master Branch for latest commits to the app.

• Use the Rhyolite_[version]_[cpu architecture]_en-US.msi or Rhyolite_[version]_[cpu architecture]-setup.exe installer from the Releases section or from the official website.

• Use the Rhyolite_[version]_[cpu architecture].dmg for Intel Macs from the Releases section or from the official website.

Note: You may encounter issues since the app isn’t signed yet, like macos saying dmg is damaged.

Run this command in your terminal:

curl -f https://rhyolite.xyz/install.sh | sh

To Uninstall:

curl -f https://rhyolite.xyz/uninstall.sh | sh

• Install the .deb package from the Releases section.

• Install the .rpm package from the same section.

Install Rhyolite_[version]_.AppImage using Gear Lever or AppImageLauncher, you can also make it executable and run it directly.

Work In Progress!

• Linux/macOS users make sure you have rustc, ld/lld/mold, and gcc/clang installed.

• Windows users make sure you have msvc and rustc installed.

• Clone the repo and checkout release branch.

• To build the app manually, run:

cargo build --release

1. Open the Command Palette using CTRL + P.
2. Explore the features or refer to our Discord community for guidance.

1. Theming might cause visibility issues.
2. Tab icons occasionally glitch.
3. Large numbers of open tabs can distort the title.
4. The app is still alpha so many unkown/unregisterd bugs.
