✨ PLANK(1) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the PLANK(1) page, from the User Commands corner of the manual 💅 she's simple, she's iconic, she's a dock.

🫶 NAME 🫶

Plank — Stupidly simple. periodt.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so. Plank is meant to be the simplest dock on the planet 🌍✨ The whole goal? Give you exactly what a dock needs and absolutely nothing more. no bloat, no drama, no "just one more feature" energy. she said minimalism is the vibe and she meant it 💅

BUT. plot twist 🎀 It is, however, a library which can be extended to create other dock programs with more advanced features. so like, she's the foundation, the blueprint, the main character that lets other apps shine 👑

Thus, Plank is the underlying technology for Docky (starting in version 3.0.0) and aims to provide all the core features while Docky extends it to add fancier things like Docklets, painters, settings dialogs, etc. so Plank does the core, Docky does the extra ✨ it's giving base class energy, iykyk.
