A worst alternative to 7zip or similar archive managers because yes
Building My Own Archive Manager
Today I worked on what is basically a worse alternative to 7-Zip and other archive managers.
Why? Mostly because there are a few things I don’t really like about existing tools, so I decided to build my own version of one.
I was also a little bit rusty with Rust.
Yes, I said it.
Sorry for the dad joke.
For now, the project uses the zip crate to handle .zip files. The current version can already create and extract archives, but this is still just the beginning.
Next steps
- Add a proper UI
- Improve ZIP options
- Support more archive formats like
.7z,.rar, and others - Make the whole thing actually useful instead of just being a funny experiment
I attached a short recording showing how it currently works.
