About

Hangar is a desktop Bluesky client designed specifically for Linux and the GNOME desktop environment. No Electron, no web views, no hybrid UI, just native GTK4 with Libadwaita for a fast, integrated experience. This is a technical preview. The app is functional but incomplete. Development follows a slice-by-slice methodology, one feature at a time.
