WIP dconf alternative

Note: i'm open for suggestion for the app name

Initially developed with tweaking the COSMIC(tm) desktop in mind, it could work for any client that have installed a compatible JSON Schema and using a format compatible with this app.

Current formats supported

• Cosmic ron
• Json

Currently, only 2 crates are relevant

• configurator: the APP
• configurator_schema: the crate client can use to generate a JSON schema that respect the spec

MVP todo

• Plug the config system of COSMIC
  • Full compatibility with the config
  • Provider for ron syntax in multiple files
  • Ron serializer
  • Better API to define the JSON Schema (system/home paths, ect.., define the spec)
  • Provide an option to install the schema from the app (and hopefully upsteam it when we are in a good shape)
• UI to create a value (this will be difficult, but it should be possible)
• Improve the UI a lot
• polish the code (test more complex structure)
• release as a flatpak app

Other

• file watcher
• explore more pattern to define config in client code
• JSON Schema 1 to 1 compliance (pass the entire test suite, currently ~ 335/862 test passed)
• ...

As you see, this is quite a lot of works, so if anyone is interested, please reach out

All the cosmic panel config modifiable in the app.
