@antoniof has been doing some fantastic work on the new Nautilus file chooser. We're finally getting to a point where we'll be shipping a usable adaptive file chooser upstream.
(NOTE: this is still not merged, and I'm showcasing the current state of the WIP branches)
Ticked off a few more to-do items for my upcoming icon manager app!
- When importing a folder of icons it now scans sub-directories too. It can handle icons with the same name but in different folders, and it looks for keywords in folders and filenames like "solid" or "duotone" to detect the icon style.
- You can filter by icon style
- Flip a coin. If it's heads, you can delete a set without the app crashing. (I got tails)

Some GNOME websites are getting modernized and simplified, but Planet GNOME has fallen behind. Not anymore. I started a prototype for a Python script to publish Planet GNOME with GitLab Pages/CI.
As Planet GNOME Editor, I am often asked to look for blog and syndication issues I couldn’t really address due to limited server-side access. With this, debugging indexing issues should be easier as it is just about looking at the CI job output.
Also, the Planet website is perceived as messy and outdated. So this work allowed Jakub Steiner to quickly jump in and restyle the page from a clean state.
Try it live at felipeborges.pages.gitlab.gnom… and let me know what you think. Keep in mind this is a proof of concept. Tips, feedback, and contributions are welcome in the project repo.
This still doesn’t produce the global Planet rss feed, just the webpage, but that’s in my TODO list too.
P.S.: I know feed readers/parsers can over-request rss/atom feeds. So I plan to cache data and use metadata to avoid redundant downloads before this is even considered as a replacement for the current Planet implementation. No worries. 😉
Resources 1.5 has landed on Flathub yesterday with battery monitoring along with other bug fixes and improvements! 🥳
Check it out! :)
The state of Unix/Linux accessibility is even worse then I feared 🙈 . Fedora has been shipping with a broken screen reader for NINE YEARS?
Orca doesn't work on any distribution that ships with Wayland by default? 😭 (thanks @aral for bringing it my attention)
Do all the distributions and such know that next year they should be accessible?
I can't code and I am not familiar with testing desktop apps, but I would really like to know how I can help to fix this.
(allthough it shows a bigger problem in open source and it's culture)

Luckily the Newton Project should fix this blogs.gnome.org/a11y/2024/06/1…, but still: it shows accessiiblity is often an afterthought.

For eight years Fedora has been shipping GNOME with a broken screen reader!
EIGHT YEARS!
(Wayland has been default on Fedora for eight years – since Fedora 25, released in 2016.)
And a hundred-billion-dollar corporation like IBM ships operating systems today based on it with a broken screen reader.
What is an ableist culture? One in which the people who call this out get ostracised.

I am unfollowing @aral@mastodon.ar.al. No matter my disagreements with GNOME folks in the past, COSMIC and GNOME are going to end up with the same accessibility backend, @accesskit, developed by the amazing @matt@toot.cafe.Fosstodon

Thank you @sovtechfund ❤️

One more demo of GTK autocomplete in Workbench
I'm very happy so far with the experience, checkout the video.
I love that the same feature can be used to discover widgets, properties and write UI faster.
There are still many improvements to be made, but I think it's close to a first release.
You can try it yourself in Workbench nightly blog.sonny.re/workbench-news
Feedback very welcome

Made good progress this weekend on #IconBear , my upcoming open-source icon manager for Linux.
* Install pre-packaged icon sets to quickly start building your library.
* Icons are automatically categorised as "Outline", "Filled", "Duotone" or "Color" when you import them.
* Icons are loaded asynchronously, for improved performance.
Once work on importing, deleting and filtering sets is finished, I'll be looking to release the app 🙌

Showtime, the video player I'm developing for #GNOME has entered Incubator and is available on the GNOME Nightly repo for testing 
I'm hoping for it to replace Totem (Videos) in GNOME 48 and I will publish it on Flathub soon.

How fast can you type? Find out with my new app, Keypunch!
I've worked on this for the last couple of months, and it's finally out. Keypunch lets you practice your typing skills with automatically generated pseudo-text in your language of choice. Alternatively, you can supply it with your own text, such as song lyrics, Wikipedia articles, and quotes. Get ready to accelerate your typing speed!
Get it on Flathub: flathub.org/apps/dev.bragefugl…

Shout out to Text Pieces! I needed to URL-encode a big ugly string (creating a template form from URL parameters, yay!) and yep, sure enough, it made it stupidly easy.
The next time you need to encode, transform, or convert some text on Linux, reach for this pretty little offline app instead of pasting your data into some random website. 👍
