Show HN: I built a desktop reminder app using Rust and Vue.js

I've been meaning to learn the basics of Rust, build my first desktop application ever and replace with it the only 2 desktop reminder apps I've known to fulfill my requirements, as both are 15 years+ old at this point.

It's still a work in progress, but after weeks of development I feel I've achieved an acceptable state for a first release.

My main use case for this is reminding myself of things which I would definitely ignore if I used Google Calendar or similar push/browser notification based apps (e.g. meetings coming up, bills to pay, etc.). I do have ADHD, how did you know?

very retro.

Glad you noticed it! Indeed I tried to mix modern UI with retro style interfaces (like vim) with the hotkey bar at the bottom.
