I’m just trying Shelly, a pacman or yay alternative, not a wrapper around either. I normally use yay, so having a GUI is an odd experience. Anyone having any issues using it?

I haven’t run Shelly myself but I took a quick look at it. It’s actually written in Rust and talks to the ALPM library directly, so it’s not just a frontend wrapping pacman.
How’s the AUR side feeling compared to yay? That’s usually where these alternatives either shine or fall apart. I’m curious if package builds and updates feel snappier or if there’s any weirdness.
