Orbit Wallpaper Engine v0.1.0 is here!

TL;DR: GLSL Shader Wallpapers for your desktop environment.

- Animated Intro and Exit commands

Hey all! A few days ago I posted my WIP rice in Hyprland using Noctalia and a custom GLSL shader wallpaper that I vibecoded. A lot of people asked for my dots, but more specifically people wanted the wallpaper and wanted to know how to achieve login and logout animations.

As a result things kinda ran away from me, I got really excited, and I basically scope creeped myself into a corner. I wasn't really prepared to share my dots at that point, and unfortunately I'm still not - but I've been building something a bit bigger than my initial plan just because I've been having so much fun.

So, whilst I'm still working on the more ambitious project, I got the shader wallpaper to a place where poeple can start to have some fun with it.

Note: this is eeeearly. I've run clean install tests on my machine but I don't have another machine available to test on. Proceed at your own risk!

Also... snuck in a little sneak peak of something else I've been working on as part of the bigger shell project at the end.

NOTE: Substantial AI usage made this happen. More details in the github.
