The place where Bibata's cursor gets personalized.

bibata

The place where Bibata's cursor gets personalized. This project is the successor to Bibata_Cursor and provides the easiest personalization of cursors, along with other options to create your own Bibata cursor.

Bibata?

TLDR; This cursor set is a masterpiece of cursors available on the internet, hand-designed by Abdulkaiz Khatri.

Bibata is an open-source, compact, and material designed cursor set that aims to improve the cursor experience for users. It is one of the most popular cursor sets in the Linux community and is now available for free on Windows as well, with multiple color and size options. Its goal is to offer personalized cursors to users.

What does "Bibata" word mean?

The sweetest word I ever spoke was "BI-Buh," which, coincidentally, is also the word for peanuts. To make it more pronounceable and not sound like a baby's words, I added the suffix "Ta." And with that, my journey in the world of open-source began.

Why a Download Limit?

Bibata, originally an open-source project, has evolved into a web application to improve accessibility. Developing cursors involves using serverless functions, incurring costs like compute expenses, hosting fees, maintenance for the Redis database, and other service charges. To offset these costs, I depend on sponsorships through the GitHub Sponsor program. By sponsoring me on a monthly basis, you'll enjoy benefits like unlimited downloads, early access to new features, and more.

Upon achieving my monthly sponsorship goal, the public download limit is lifted.

How to Upgrade to a "Pro" Account?

To enjoy the perks of a "Pro" account, begin sponsoring ful1e5 at a monthly tier. Connect this sponsored GitHub account to the app to unlock pro features and enjoy unlimited downloads.

By doing so, you will not only gain access to pro features but also receive all the benefits listed on the sponsorship tier. Additionally, you have the opportunity to be featured with a shoutout in the download section and contribute to increasing the public downloads factor.

bibata's Issues

Can you please create a cursor set with the name Ocean?

I suggest a cursor theme named Ocean with the #438de6 as the main colour. You can name it anything. A set of cursors with this default folder icon colour of Gnome would be awesome.

Save on server costs by moving cursor generation to client

Title says it all; we could generate cursors on the client (ie via the npm libraries zcursor or xcursor) to minimize server costs. This would also allow for the site to be statically served. A proof-of-concept can be found here (source - it currently only includes XCursors, but could be modified to also build windows ones - it's also far from the cleanest of code).

Timeout loading some shapes, always including `wait`

Whenever I try to generate Icons (either by preset or by custom colours) wait won't show up. The same will sometimes happen to other shapes as well seemingly at random.
Looking up things in the console, these are the errors I am getting:

1. A 504 for GET https://bibata.vercel.app/api/svg/img:7039102c-89c6-4c66-b5ac-aaa2b5ed2611:1.0.0-alpha.0?color=...
2. Unable to fetch 'wait' (thrown here: 472-88bd18eb4f2c84ee.js:1:3763)
