Somebody PLEASE make something like github.com/vadimdemedes/ink-ui but for GTK.
I would be a LOT more inclined to create native #linux #gtk apps if I could create them using #react or something similar.
Creating interfaces using GTK's native APIs feels like programming in the 90s.

A new version of effortlessly easy audio player Amberol is rolling out on Flathub. Amberol 0.10 is composed of small but welcome changes that provideScott Bouvier (OMG! Linux)
#Amberol 0.10.0 is out! After a tragic mess with a #GNOME run time update, and with lots of fixes accumulating over a development branch, I decided to spin up a release. Highlights:
- tweaked UI, to avoid confusing the waveform control and the volume control
- improved scaling of textures using #GTK 4.10
- ability to restore the last playlist at startup
- optional background playback
Plus the usual lots and lots of small fixes, tweaks, and performance improvements.
Over the Easter holidays I experimented a bit with building Rust code with meson instead of cargo.
Specifically I tried building a GStreamer plugin with a few dozen Rust dependencies, but the same applies in a similar way to GTK/GNOME applications or literally anything else.
A write-up of the results with a lot of details can be found here: coaxion.net/blog/2023/04/build…

It's an awesome Reddit client as good as Android ones. But the project is archived 😥️
Got all gestures wired up in Identity: there's drag-and-drop heavily inspired by Loupe with its beautiful thumbnail (naturally, in Identity it shows playing videos!), there's drag to pan when zoomed in, there's click to "select" a video tile.
I love how easy it is to do drag-and-drop while showing whatever in the thumbnail in #GTK 4 (especially now that sizing and hotspots work ;)). Thanks @sophie and @brainblasted for things I stole from Loupe and @alexm for help with gestures!
Using #GTK and #Libadwaita in #swift Attempt Number 2.
Instead of using GIR to generate the code, use hand-written bindings.
More work? - Yes
Full coverage? - No
Better API and easier to use? - Yes
I spent yesterday evening trying to see how to make apps that use #libadwaita (the latest UI for #GNOME), and walked away with a streak of anger over a surprising lack of documentation and examples.
#GTK and #GNOME app development have always been a quest that involves throwing a ring in a fiery mountain, while hoping for the best, but in the 25 years since GTK+'s introduction, it has only gotten worse, it just looks prettier now. sigh. #linux
Bit of a an odd mood to today so wanted to check if I can brighten things up a bit by adding some color and transparency to #phosh. (Basically just a quick hack to see how the performance is on the #librem5 and it's quite good). Background image by @francois .
#MobileLinux #LinuxMobile #gtk
Sometimes I find it very hard to know how to look for/describe #GNOME bugs. I could use some help with this one. It's a bug in #libadwaita as I can trigger it both in GNOME Files and GNOME Settings. I just have no clue how to describe it. I think searching on "dialog" might be too narrow of a search, and I also don't know what to give as extra info (platform, version...). I can't seem to find it in the gitlab repo, which surprises me as it's such a major regression...
Is there a high-level, statically typed language in the #GTK ecosystem?
#Rust, while better than C is overly obsessed with memory to use it daily.
Looking at bindings
gtk.org/docs/language-bindings…
things like #JVM and #.NET are missing, leaving the choice of unhelpful type systems, or caring about unneeded details, or both... Not a good outlook for quickly building apps.
GTK is a free and open-source cross-platform widget toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces.The GTK Team
#WebKitGTK is looking for a #Linux user with #NVIDIA GPU to help debug an issue with the #GTK 4 port.
You should be comfortable patching and compiling a system package.
See bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?i…
Will the #GTK developers ever stop breaking their API with every new release? Some major apps just finished porting their code to GTK3 and now the list of breaking changes for GTK4 is absolutely insane. Looks like everyone that has to support a GTK application will be forever porting to a new version instead of working on the actual app.

Reference for Gtk-4.0: Migrating from GTK 3.x to GTK 4docs.gtk.org
Say hello to Tally for Plausible, a rebrand of my Plausible app to better differentiate it from Plausible Analytics itself!
The app supports:
• Your dashboard from Plausible.io
• Custom domains
• A refreshed design
• Cross-desktop light/dark style
• A more app-like experience
• Theoretically, phones!*
Grab it now from Flathub:

*If you have a Linux phone and want to test Tally, I’d love to see what it looks like.

We are dropping the Autotools build for GTK 3.x, and have fully switched to Meson. If you package GTK 3 and you are still using Autotools, now is the time to switch.
For more information, see the announcement on Discourse: discourse.gnome.org/t/removing…
#gtk #meson #autotools #distro #packaging
The next GTK 3 release, 3.24.46, will drop support for building with Autotools. GTK has been using Meson in its main development branch since 2016, and in the gtk-3-24 branch since 2018. While we did not officially support the Meson build in the 3.GNOME Discourse

Perl isn't dead just yet, and you can write GNOME application using this programming language. In order to do that, though, we're going to need new bindings ...YouTube
