I'm interested in tools (or blog posts about this) for image editing apps. Would you mind sharing what you've build?

Nothing ready to ship just yet; I was thinking of building an image editing app that simply focuses on transformations — imagine Photoshop, without the editing part. Instead of having layers, you have a series of transformation you can tweak visually and then export to be reused and applied in batch later.

The itch I want to scratch is that I'm on Linux, and our native image editing apps are very clunky, or you have to spend a weekend every time reacquainting yourself with ImageMagick.

The other project in the back of my head is a font repository, manager and downloader for Linux. It's an unserved niche, and there is no popular central repository of fonts, despite a large majority of them are released with permissive licenses. I just want to be able to do `font-app install Inter Iosevka "IBM Plex"` and they appear under ~/.local/share/fonts
