Over time, though, Apple’s magnetic charging and docking system has blossomed into an important piece of the Apple accessory ecosystem.

Show HN: Electro – A hyper-fast Windows image viewer with a built-in terminal

This is my first major OSS release! I was always so frustrated by how slow image viewers were on Windows so I built one from the ground up with Rust & Tauri v2.0!

Electro also has a very unique feature: a built-in terminal. I was always mesmerised by merging CLI tools with GUI based systems and this is my first go at it!

I have big plans on expanding the terminal functionality with built-in image editing commands, command chaining, file handling etc.
