After years of beautiful native #GTK apps written using bindings for python, rust, JS and many other...

The GObject introspection system is proving again how great it is, welcoming a new member to the family: #GTKX !

Bindings for writing native apps with #React and #TypeScript

Hopefully even more web developers will be able to write #GTK applications with the tools they know the best!

@GTK @gnome

Over November 2025, I've been able to contribute to @gnome, and it was a pleasure!

I focused on GNOME Clocks, with the goal of making it as good as possible for GNOME 50. I focused on #accessibility, #linuxmobile and all sorts of bug fixes and features, as well as issue and MR triaging.

I also fixed some tiny issues in #GTK and #libadwaita, and helped make gettext-pseudolocale as good as possible.

I hope to find more free time to make GNOME Clocks 50 dependable as a mobile clocks app.

TIL about GTK Blueprint. nice!

"Blueprint is a markup language and compiler for GTK 4 user interfaces."

I added a new CI check to Drum Machine, it now automatically checks if the .pot translation template file is up to date. If I forget to regenerate it after adding/changing translatable strings (which I usually do), it reminds me :D

You can add it to your own projects as well, just copy the translation-check job from the workflow file and change the paths!

IᑎTᖇO TO ᒪOᑕᗩᒪ-ᖴIᖇᔕT

Thursday December 4 at 17:00 we are welcoming @tbernard to XPUB studio (Wijnhaven 61, Rotterdam) to talk about the state of the emergent local-first and peer-to-peer collaboration ecosystem 👀

🧑‍💻 After the introduction, we are going to play with Reflection, the GTK-based collaborative text editor he’s developing together with @p2panda 🐼

🆓 Participation is open and free!
