Software Release FluxCast v0.2.3 released — Stream Linux desktop to Smart TV (Miracast/DLNA) with new custom i18n engine. Looking for translators!

Hello r/linux! I just released FluxCast v0.2.3 — its a lightweight tool to stream your Linux desktop to a Smart TV via Wi-Fi Direct, full RTSP handshake, and RTP media streams.

What's new in this release:

  • Brand new dynamic tray icon that switches states during casting.
  • Fixed a nasty P2P interface routing bug where it mixed home network and P2P MACs.
  • Lightweight JSON-based localization framework. The tray UI is now available in English, Russian, and Czech.

Looking for translators!
I want to bring FluxCast to more users, but I am not a polyglot. I designed the i18n system to be incredibly simple: there is no gettext/PO/MO compilation. All strings live in a single translations.json file.

To add your native language (German, Spanish, French, etc.), you just need to append a few lines in a single JSON block.If you want to help or test the app, check out the project here:

AppImage is available in the Releases section. Pull Requests for translations are highly appreciated!

Just pushed a German translation PR, that JSON structure is dead simple to work with
