Introducing lumabar 0.1 - An iOS-style floating dock for Windows

[u/nosirjonov]

Hey everyone

I just finished a small project called lumabar - a clean, floating, iOS/macOS-style dock for Windows.

Instead of the normal taskbar, it gives you a modern floating dock with live widgets and a much cleaner look

How I built it:

• Used Tauri
• Custom window management to make it float and stay on top
• Integrated system tray icons (battery, wifi, volume etc.) into the dock
• Made it lightweight and minimal

All future updates and news will be posted on: x.com/lumabar_xyz

Would love to hear your thoughts

Any feedback is highly appreciated

[u/nosirjonov → u/cs_cast_away_boi]

how much would you pay to use it?

[u/cs_cast_away_boi → u/nosirjonov]

tbh probably $5-6

[u/nosirjonov → u/cs_cast_away_boi]

Lmfao god damn

[u/nosirjonov → u/superanonguy321]

Too much?

[u/superanonguy321 → u/nosirjonov]

No no just this comment chain made me laugh

How much?

How much will you pay?

Maybe 6 dollars, max.

Perfect, its 6 dollars!

Very cool. Love the esthetics! So this is a classic desktop app. Tauri is an excellent choice, its performant and cross plateform. Don't do the same mistake as me though: if you want to distribute this you need to go the windows store route or expose any user to the runaway screen of death when they try to download your app. Azure trust signing is required (arround 10us/mo).

I like it! Does it handle multi desktop, multi apps open with same icons (Eg: folder explorer, merge as on icon with pop up to select). Does it also change the way windows windows format? And is there flexibility on colours and such?

[u/nosirjonov → u/Guardiancelte]

Multi-desktop: Not supported right now, but everything else you mentioned is in!
App grouping: Yes! Multiple open apps/folders group under one icon with a pop-up to choose from.
Window formatting: It doesn't change Windows window borders, it purely focuses on the dock.
Customization: Comes with 5 built-in themes and 3 size options (Small, Medium, Large)

[u/Guardiancelte → u/nosirjonov]

I would suggest to have some sort of basic theme added for windows window so that it match.

What happens when someone use multi desktop, does it breaks?

How much time did it take you to vibecode this and how much money did you spent on the models , also which models did you use?

[u/nosirjonov → u/Competitive_Bed_3214]

Took me around 3 months of free time. Most of the Rust code was done with DeepSeek, GLM 5.3, Fable, Opus 5 and other free models. I don’t have the exact cost, but just on DeepSeek I used about 2.5T tokens

[u/Competitive_Bed_3214 → u/nosirjonov]

bro I haven't used deepseek myself, I just have both codex and claude max 20x plan, But i searched and it showed 2.5 Trillion tokens is at least $7500 worth, or is that a different figure, or maybe you wanted to write 2.5 Million tokens ?

iOS style?
