v2.0.0: the native application

AniBeam 2.0 is the native application: a Rust core and a Qt 6 QML shell, replacing the Electron app as the main line. The Electron build still ships beside it for this release and goes away at the retire line.

The shell

• Home is the first page: the series to go on with, on a band in its own poster colour, then the week as rows of the days that have an episode landing (today first and marked), the series with episodes waiting, a row not started yet, and the genres as a way into the library.
• The library is sections of one grid: a title with its count, the search, one line of pill controls, then the franchises and the rest as headings over uniform cards. A genre picked on Home filters it.
• A slim flat sidebar: Home and Library first, the rest as quiet glyphs at the foot.
• Pages sit in a centred column on an ultrawide window instead of filling it.
• Flat surfaces in three roles: the ground, the theme's own secondary surface, and the accent used sparingly. Cards carry a New tag when an episode is out and unseen, and a progress line that is the watched fraction and nothing else.
• Scrolling: every wheel notch adds a fixed step and the content follows with exponential smoothing, so a spin of five notches goes five steps. Settings > Appearance has a scroll speed slider.
• The player hides the pointer with its chrome.

The core

• A series with no published episode count is no longer filed away as watched the moment the newest available episode is reached; only a real total or the tracker's own Completed counts.
• TVmaze as a second match provider for non-anime series (#27).

Install

The Linux build is the anibeam binary attached below, built on Arch with Qt 6.12, mpvqt 1.2 and libmpv; put the com.marcusrosado.AniBeam.desktop entry from apps/linux/ beside it, or run it directly. The Electron zip is the legacy app.
