Deprecate... Hyprdots... HyDE...

[kRHYME7]

Hi Friends!

I'm the author of Hyde-CLI, and I want to share some updates with you.

My initial vision for Hyde-CLI was to serve as a workaround and wrapper for some features of Hyprdots that the owner did not want to add. Over time, I added several features that have proven helpful to a few users. I’m happy that even 2 to 5 people find these features useful. However, with Hyprdots now deprecated, Hyde-CLI has lost its main purpose.

Should I Archive This Repository?

My initial plans were to deprecate this repository and create a separate CLI. However, this decision might change based on the current situation.

Reasons to Deprecate:

1. I want this repository to only link to Hyprdots and avoid breaking changes.
2. It’s challenging to rewrite the large Bash codebase, which is hard to debug and lacks sufficient tools for long-term maintainability.
3. That’s it...

Reasons to Build a New CLI on Top of This:

1. For users, it would provide a smoother transition from Hyprdots to HyDE.
2. HyDE's script now offers various APIs, allowing a CLI, TUI, or GUI to interact with it easily. This means we could potentially clean up Hyde-cli's codebase.
3. The package is already installed, and the AUR package is well established.

Realizing these points, I believe I should consider salvaging this repository and reusing it to build the new CLI. While it might be difficult to start, this decision could be worth it. I am uncertain at this point, so your comments will be my deciding factor.

God bless!

Please let me know your thoughts on whether I should archive this repository or build an improved CLI on top of it.

Good to read!

I am interesting in the powersaving scrips, are there up-to-date? or, if not, can I use it without breaking my system? Thank you! (of I have already migrate to the new repo)

EDIT: I found game mode that provide battery save but is the optimal script to use for now?

about the power saving it's safe.

Yeah you can do that too. If you're on HyDE it's actually planned internally to add selectors. For example disable blur, disable animations, and disable rounding plus the gamemode option.
