Perplexity Computer ports Windows-only keyboard app to native Linux Rust app

A user used Perplexity Computer to port a Windows-only mechanical keyboard app to a native Rust app for Linux, according to Aravind Srinivas.

Computer downloaded the app's binary in its cloud sandbox, decompiled it with headless Ghidra, and read the decompiled code to learn how the app drives the keyboard.

According to Srinivas, Computer then rebuilt the app's features piece by piece, including keyboard lighting that syncs to music over PipeWire, a 3D view, key remapping, macros and profiles.
