This project was a significant undertaking, as I designed and built most components from scratch. I recently rewrote the entire system, transitioning from AGS 1.0 to AGS 2.0. The new version adopts a more React-like architecture, moving away from the previous Flutter-like approach.
Highlights
TypeScript & Maintainability
Written in TypeScript for better structure, readability, and long-term maintainability.
GTK Like UI
I think it looks good enough regarding GTK-3.0 CSS limitations
