Packages

• quai — a two-column, Unity-style dock for the COSMIC desktop; starts with every session (source)
• readers-books — a black-and-white e-book reader: a shelf, pages cut at whole lines, an optional library on a drive (source)
• readers-calendar — a black-and-white CalDAV calendar (source)
• readers-notes — black-and-white plain-text notes, synced with the phone over WebDAV (source)
• readers-podcasts — a black-and-white, text-only podcast player, in step with the phone (source)
