Promotional Ville — panel - launcher for Windows on Python

2 Upvotes

Wanted to share my open-source project and get some feedback

What it even is

I was once working with files and realized how slow and tedious it is to open and find files and folders. I wanted to simplify the process — type a command and whatever you need opens. That's where the idea came from: a console-style panel where you enter a short command, and in that command you assign a name to the path you want to open.

Let me go into a bit more detail:

Ville is a small panel that sits on a global hotkey. By default the window opens with Ctrl+Alt+Space, but you can change that in the settings.

What it can do

Sure, you can read everything on GitHub, but let me go over a few things here.

/openset <path> <alias> — an alias is basically just a name, but it sounds smarter and fancier that way.

Then /open <name> opens the folder or file you specified.

A calculator (no idea why, but it's there — functionality is again on GitHub).

Autocomplete. You type /se, a suggestion pops up for /settings, you hit Tab or just Enter, and the command runs.

Some minor appearance customization in the settings and a few things in a JSON file.

What's not there

I'm building the app on Windows 11, so I have no idea if it works on other systems.

Haven't gotten around to plugins yet, but if a decent audience builds up, I'll get to it.

Why I'm showing this

Feedback. I need to find bugs, shortcomings, and so on. What works, what's inconvenient, what to add, what to polish, and so on.

Ideas. I know "launcher" is a niche with a ton of other alternatives and ready-made solutions. I want to understand how Ville can be useful in contrast to them — or maybe even better.

Help. If anyone's interested in the project and wants to join — issues are open. The code is generally not complex — I'm not a programmer, but I understand the code well enough, and you can figure it out in an evening.

Releases with .exe files are there too.

If you made it to the end, thank you so much. I'll be glad for any reaction — criticism, questions, and ideas.
