Ringboard: the infinitely scalable clipboard manager for Linux

Ringboard is a simple yet powerful clipboard manager, designed for Linux to be desktop environment (DE) agnostic. It is implemented using a client-server architecture (with a Unix Domain Socket) which enables using a command line interface (CLI) for lower level operations, a terminal user interface (TUI) for a convenient yet unobtrusive interface, and various graphical user interfaces (GUIs). Currently, the clients include a stand-alone GUI implemented using egui and a TUI implemented using ratatui with plans for a COSMIC applet (issue) and Gnome extension (issue). Ringboard strives to be as efficient as possible, use a minimal constant amount of memory, scale to massive clipboards, and be composable with the rest of the ecosystem. In brief, it hopes to become The One Clipboard manager for Linux.
