Oh nice! I used to be a Debian/Ubuntu only person, but I tried EndeavourOS quite a few years ago, and it's been great ever since! Last year I installed Arch the vanilla way, and I had to boot up the USB multiple times, but I finally got things working on it. I'm definitely glad I did the standard install at least once though, because I learned way more things about Linux than I ever would have from installing other distros. I would have an extremely hard time fixing boot issues, for instance, without having installed Arch from the wiki. I know when I installed LibreOffice, the wiki page recommends installing Hunspell for spell checking; I'm assuming it would work with other programs as well?

Interstellar uses Flutter (UI framework) & Dart (language); it's not difficult at all to learn if you'd like to get into it, especially if you've used web technologies before. We're always looking for more contributors if you'd be interested 😉! Anyway, I'll keep you in mind for testing; it's good to know there's another person using it on desktop. I can't make any guarantees for when the desktop improvements would come, just since there's already so much other stuff to do, but I'll definitely let you know!

Ah, you're on NixOS? I haven't personally used it but I have considered it. I like the idea of having the OS stay the same as long as the config is the same. ATM though, I am on Arch.

Still gonna have to see about the refresh thing, haven't tried yet. Been busy ricing hyprland, nvim and fish on a new install.

The refresh button will work on the Feed screen, but there is not one present on most other screens. What we really need to do is add some keyboard shortcuts to the app.

I'd personally like to make some changes to the app that will make it more desktop friendly (e.g., split screen, tabs, keyboard shortcuts, etc.) as the app has mainly focused on mobile platforms up to this point.

Thanks for trying it out, it means a lot!

Spell check would be good. Unfortunately Flutter, the framework we use, doesn't have support for it on desktop platforms yet.

To refresh on desktop theres a floating button on the bottom right which shows/hides some other buttons, one of which is a refresh. In Settings -> Feed Actions, you can change the locations of these buttons if you wish.

How Far Could You Actually Travel Into Space Within 1 Lifetime?

If you left Earth today on our fastest spacecraft, where would you be at the end of your life? We calculate the limits of human travel within a single generation. From the edge of our solar system to the nearest star, discover the distance of a human life-span in the context of the infinite void.

How to Launch A Spacecraft Out of the Solar System

Leaving our solar system isn't just about speed; it’s about a complex gravitational dance. We break down the "Interstellar Exit" strategy, exploring how probes use planetary slingshots and ion propulsion to break free from the Sun’s massive gravitational well. This is the ultimate guide to becoming a galactic traveler.

James Webb Telescope Just Detected Mysterious Lights Inside 3I/ATLAS

The interstellar object 3I/ATLAS is no longer being treated as a comet. The JWST has captured "intermittent luminosity" emanating from the interior of the object—signals that follow a mathematical pattern. As it accelerates away from the Sun, the evidence is mounting:

Scientists Announce a Real Warp Drive Is Now Possible

Theoretical physics has just taken a giant leap toward the stars. A new paper proposes a "Subluminal Warp Bubble" that bypasses the need for exotic negative energy. By manipulating space-time curvature within the bounds of General Relativity, we might finally have a mathematical blueprint for faster-than-light travel.

Mystery in the Deep Void: The 3I/ATLAS Dataset Just Expanded 🌠📡

For decades, our understanding of interstellar objects was relatively predictable—until 3I/ATLAS arrived. What scientists initially thought was just a routine observation of a passing celestial rock has transformed into a profound cosmic mystery.

3I ATLAS Isn’t Natural… NASA Finally Admits Something’s Wrong

The official narrative regarding the interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS is crumbling. NASA scientists have observed anomalous thermal signatures and a trajectory adjustment that gravity alone cannot explain. Is this a dormant piece of alien technology, or a phenomenon that defies our current understanding of physics?
