It's now possible to save and restore a program's state in Qt6.6, so I need to figure out how I'll handle like app tombstoning for better power management once people start adding that support to desktop environments.

Could I have an in-memory data structure that stores which grid cells are occupied and by which tile? Resizing a tile would store which tile occupies which cells, so that could work.

Instead of reusing the same web browser control instance for each pivot in the Search app, I should probably have separate ones so the user doesn't lose their spot when swiping between them.

I will need to add support for the XDG Desktop Portal's accent-color thing when I allow it to be changed in my Settings app. Maybe it will still be a good idea to offer it over D-Bus, too, but now I think maybe that shouldn't be the focus because the desktop portals thing will be more cross-compatible (some people might not want to use desktop portals though, so I guess I'll support both but focus on the portals).

I should look up "Linux DBus handle secure data" to see if there's a way to have the lockscreen talk to a DBus daemon to get the user's pin code length and have it be stored securely while also preventing anyone else from listening in on it.

For now maybe I should give up on trying to integrate TilesGrid and just have tile positions be a config file thing with a custom grid.

I need to somehow trigger the tileAdded event on TilesGrid when loading and pinning tiles, tileMoved when resizing them, and (if it has it, but if not I can just do the inverse of tileAdded) tileRemoved when unpinning tiles.

I don't like the idea of using a Chromium-based engine for the Search app considering Google is trying to add DRM to the Internet using it, but QtWebEngine uses Chromium and it would be the easiest one for me to use.

The settingsReader.py file should fall back to the config file shipped with Retiled if the requested key isn't present in the version in ~/.config/Retiled/RetiledSettings/configs/ even if there is a config file there.

Apparently Python multithreading can be used when the bottleneck is hardware like storage, GPU, or even network, so I should use it to help performance as it can be not great. Not sure if async would be the same situation, but it may be what's easiest.

To improve performance, hide tile contents or even tiles themselves when they're far enough away from the visible area.

I think there could be a button on the lower-left corner of tiles with an ellipsis/"More" icon that opens a popup (when tapping the "open tile editor" button as detailed later) to allow that tile to be configured for stuff like color, tile text, and whether the tile is active (last one would be another option above a "open tile editor" button in a popup), etc.

Write a script to copy shared Python libraries to each program's libs subfolder when changing something instead of manually doing it + extract most of the settings and theme-loading code in main.py files out to separate libraries (would need basic stuff like a small class to not break things but most will be pulled out).

Allow users to set tile background colors to whatever they want and override both the tile's .desktop file and their accent color for all tiles (if they want, say, black tiles with a light background without using high contrast) and support specifying tile background colors in themes for high contrast theme support.
