## Signals and evidence

- NEW · 1h OLD WHEN SEEN

## TESIGN TAKE

Built for the author's own use, it stays small and simple.

## WHY IT MATTERS

Using WSL containers means typing commands. RC Desktop gives a Docker Desktop-style window, built in Rust with Slint so it starts fast and uses little memory without Electron.

## BUILD FROM THIS

- Start, stop, restart and remove containers, view logs and inspect output, and list images, volumes and networks. Deploy via a form, a pasted docker-compose file or a pasted docker run command, with compose stacks started and stopped together.

## WHO IT'S FOR

- Developers using WSL containers on Windows 11.

## START IN 5 MINUTES

```
# Download the Windows build from the repository or project page.
```

## CAVEATS

- Windows only; the author says it is early and has rough edges. A brand-new project with 2 stars.

## How to read this

- This file was produced by the same build, from the same data, as the tesign.com item page. The text is editorial; the numbers are stored observations.
- null in the JSON means not observed — never zero. The Markdown writes [unconfirmed] for it.
- Star total = the value last checked on GitHub (stars_checked_at) + increases observed via GH Archive since. The 24h · 7d · 30d gains are GH Archive hourly events summed to the reference time (as_of). No score of ours.
- A summary, not legal advice.
