I am currently working on a prototype to solve a personal frustration: environment fragmentation. I switch between a Windows desktop and a MacBook daily, and I hate losing my "flow." My goal is to create a lightweight system that makes different hardware feel like one personal system.</p> <p>Idea:</p> <p>Terminal Continuity: Reconnects to your exact shell session and history across OSs.</p> <p>Deep Browser Sync: Restores active tabs and window layouts.</p> <p>Encrypted Clipboard: Real-time sharing of text/images between devices.</p> <p>Tech Stack: I chose Rust + Tauri for the core service because I need high performance and a tiny battery footprint.</p> <p>The Honest Question: Is "environment-as-a-service" a real need for you? Or have you found that tools like Git and basic cloud storage are enough to manage your context?</p> discuss productivity rust showdev
