VesselRDP is a project focused on delivering a Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) for Linux. Frustrated by the clunky alternatives, I built a modern client prioritizing speed, security, and a beautiful user interface.

**Key Features:**

- **Lightning Fast**: Built entirely in **Rust** to guarantee memory safety and incredibly low resource consumption compared to Electron-based apps.
- **Modern UI**: Leverages the **Slint** UI toolkit to provide a sleek, highly responsive dark-mode native interface that feels at home on modern Linux distributions.
- **Advanced Connection Management**: Easily organize hundreds of servers into hierarchical folders (e.g., Local Servers, Production Apps), complete with lightning-fast searching and secure credential management via AAD and TLS.
- **Secure by Design**: Implements strict, modern security protocols out of the box.
