Calling all GTK app developers!
As part of the Reflection project we want to lay the groundwork for an ecosystem of native GTK apps with local-first sync/collaboration features. To do this in the most effective way possible we're asking for your input!

I had some free time during the weekend to make progress on the desktop version of flowvi.be :catjam:
I'm starting to get into the GTK/libadwaita mindset of things. Also realized if I keep a tidy project structure I can easily switch to Qt or something else later on so that's nice.
Big things have small beginnings ;)
#IndieDev #GTK #Qt #KDE #Gnome #Flowvibe #Music #PlaylistMaker
because I keep biting off more than I can chew. I wanted to release a small utility first to get familiar again with #GNOME / #GTK / #Flatpak development.
also something that I need myself. a week worth of hacking.
introducing Bobby: a SQLite file viewer.
@seabass @neil As someone who's been using Linux for over 20 years and uses middle-paste all the time, I say FUCK NO. (I also miss this feature when using a Mac for work.)
And a couple of other designers in the comments are calling it "uncontroversial" because... they're only taking to other designers in the chat and not asking any users, who would have to learn about this under-the-covers change and then create accounts in the GNOME Gitlab instance to object.
(The Tails Linux devs pulled a similar coup against the users last summer when intigeri said "Let's remove sshfs; nobody uses it," and then merged the request in only a week.)
Note to open source maintainers: Don't make your user base feel like Arthur Dent looking for the explanation for his house being bulldozed.
tooted out most of the news over the year here but we hope you still find some interesting bits in our the year in Phosh 2025 Edition : https://phosh.mobi/posts/phosh-2025-in-retrospect/

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."
