Overview
BitCrafts Vigil is the graphical front-end of the BitCrafts ecosystem. It makes the Toolkit’s command-line tools available through a native and modern desktop application.
Architecture
- Declarative frontend: GTK4 + libadwaita, UI described in Blueprint.
- Decoupled backend: business logic independent from the UI.
- Orchestration: launching and supervising child processes (CLI).
- Data handling: analysis results, history and state.
Why
Performance should not come at the cost of an austere user experience. Vigil shows that a systems tool can have a polished, fluid UI that follows GNOME standards.
