What problem does it solve?

COSMIC Desktop development guidelines streamline onboarding and ensure consistent, high-quality apps and applets built with Rust and libcosmic.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Official templates: Use sanctioned App and Applet templates to jumpstart projects.
  • MVU architecture guidance: Clear Model-View-Update structure with separation of concerns for maintainable UI.
  • COSMIC Design System integration: Consistent theming and system colors across apps.
  • Project scaffolding: Step-by-step setup from repo to runnable applets and standalone apps.
  • Use Case: A developer creates a new COSMIC app using the templates, applies the MVU pattern, and theming to deliver a product with consistent UI and predictable behavior.

Quick Start

Use the COSMIC app/templates to bootstrap a new project and begin implementing the MVU pattern.
