https://github.com/FriederHannenheim/cthulock Hey everybody. I'm releasing my new screen locker for Wayland which you can easily customize using the Slint language. Feel free to ask me any questions in the comments.___

why slint? i never heard about it

I was looking for a UI framework that could easily embedded into other applications. I'm doing all the communication with Wayland myself, then create an OpenGL context from the Wayland surface which Slint renders into. Also Slint has this language you can create UI's with, which I think is not too difficult for users to learn so anyone can customize their lock screen easily with it.
