System-wide push-to-talk for Wayland. Hold the key anywhere — in a game, in a terminal, in a browser — and the microphone opens.

On X11 this is a solved problem, because any client can ask for a global key grab. Wayland deliberately removed that: a window only sees input while it is focused, so a userspace hotkey daemon simply does not get the event. The fix is to stop asking the window layer and go to the layer that actually owns input.

Rust was the right tool here for the boring reason: the process is long-lived, touches devices, and must not leak or crash while you are mid-sentence.

A tweening system meant to be vendored inside another asset rather than installed beside it.

If you ship a Unity asset and it needs animation, your options are usually bad: pull in a big tweening library and force it on every buyer, or hand-roll coroutines. The first one collides the moment two assets vendor different versions of the same library; the second one you rewrite every project.

NanoTween is built for the vendoring case: small surface, no global state to fight over, and nothing for the consumer to install or declare. It grew out of Ni-Tweening, which was the same idea with a worse API.

Seven small Unity packages rather than one framework. Take the scheduler without taking the tweening engine.

Every module is its own repository with its own version. Ni-Essentials is the only shared piece, and it exists precisely so the others can stay thin instead of each carrying a private copy of the same helpers.
