📝 About This Page & Project Journey
The content presented on this page corresponds to the public README I've written for my NeoDesk project, which you can consult on the GitHub repository.
NeoDesk represents one of the most "complete" projects I have undertaken to date on my personnal time.
➡️ It initially stemmed from a very personal need, and be pushed by two main motivations:
- I have always heavily manipulated my Windows computer, frequently needing to reset my configuration for performance optimization and fresh starts after certain projects or academic years.
- In my work as a system and network administrator, I also needed to create PowerShell scripts to automate the configuration of company user workstations. This experience highlighted the recurring need for efficient Windows automation tools.
- During my final two years of computer science studies, we were asked to develop a project proposing IT innovation—with a business model, a product who responds to a real need, to be realized over a two-year period, on free time, with a free subject.
I had several topics in mind, some more focused on cybersecurity, but honestly, NeoDesk was the subject closest to my heart.
I spent these past two years working on this project, from its initial reflection to its conception, through many iterations, testing different languages ranging from Python to Rust with Tauri.
➡️I will be defending this project in April 2026 before an examination committee, then presenting it at a student convention organized by my University in June 2026.
Currently, I am in the final development phase.
I hope to be able to share more very soon.
I am eager to finally make public all my work from these past two years on this project and to receive concrete feedback from users.
I hope NeoDesk can provide a solution to a problem I have always had, for which I have never found a sufficiently convincing equivalent.
Actually the hardest part of neodesk is slit in two :
- Base app, UX/UI and optimized with executable generation and lot of cool features
- Security hardening feature. I want to allow user through a simple interface to harden deepen and simply as possible their setup. I don't want to make it placebo, or IA slop, I actually studying how Windows work and what really matter in terme of security hardenning, after all that I need to find a way to integrate it to neodesk in a simple and efficient way.
This project, I intend to continue in the long term, maintain it, and make it evolve.
Thanks you for reading this far, and with hope you will try NeoDesk when it will be released !
