After two weeks of writing, revising, and trying to make everything as digestible as possible, I finally published "GNOME Calendar: A New Era of Accessibility Achieved in 90 Days", where I explain in detail the steps we took to turn GNOME Calendar from an app that was literally unusable with a keyboard and screen reader to an app that is (finally) accessible to keyboard and screen reader users as of GNOME 49!

GNOME Calendar: A New Era of Accessibility Achieved in 90 Days

There is no calendaring app that I love more than GNOME Calendar. The design is slick, it works extremely well, it is touchpad friendly, and best of all, the community around it is just full of wonderful developers, designers, and contributors worth …

My pro meeting audio tip for #GNOME users: map an unused top-right corner keyboard key as global shortcut for (un)muting the microphone, then paper-sticker-label it.
Now no need to have the meeting browser tab focused (or to remember each conferencing app's shortcuts) to toggle your microphone input.

The recording indicator in the top-right of your screen in GNOME reflects that change, although a bit too subtly. Up for grabs for newcomers: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-s…

🚪 Georges covers the current state and future of XDG Desktop Portals—essential for modern app developers.

#GNOME #XDG #Flatpak #Portals #Linux #FOSS

The new modal dialogs in GTK/gnome that are nailed to the parent window's center and can't be moved are such unintelligent design. Libreoffice now uses these for the paragraph style editing dialog so now you can't move the dialog anymore to look at the effect of your settings on the actual document. A similar issue happens with the "save as" dialog in many GTK applications. Often you'd want to look at the content of the document to decide on a file name.
