Just tagged Maps 50.alpha and libshumate 1.6.alpha for GNOME 50:

Containing, among others, the new sidebar redesign, public transit journey redesign, using Transitous for all public transit routingm, and porting of UI templates to Blueprint for Maps.

And for libshumate the option to compile without the vector renderer has been removed, the vector renderer has gained support for "global-state" expressions.

I cannot express how cool this is. This is the first time I’m running Graphs on a mobile phone, and it just works. Quite nicely as well.

#GNOME and #libadwaita has really made it very easy to make your apps adaptive and behave nice on mobile phones. This is really powerful stuff. So many applications work really nicely on #PostMarketOS.

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.

Wow! 6 days ago I created an issue over at #Gnome, about fixing a tiny annoyance I had, where I couldn't choose to open certain links inside #libadwaita apps in any way except for in the default browser.

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libadwaita/-/issues/1093

The very same day the great @alice replied positively, and by the next day she already had three commits ready!

Today I checked in my #GnomeOS nightly, and whaddayaknow, it's already implemented! Yey!

So fun to actually have a real impact on the OS you use :)

The only thing is that after the commit was already created I saw that Bazaar had solved this same issue in maybe a better way…? question mark, question mark

At least it's a much more discoverable way. And I think it looks nice. But my suspicion is that it will not be a widely used feature, and so it might be better to hide it behind a right click, instead of having it right in the face of everyone all the time? idk

It's one the historical GNOME games, but thanks to Mat's modernization work over the past few cycles it looks very fresh and clean nowadays. Welcome :)

Over a week on #Gnome and #Debian now. And I must say that I love it. Never thought that I would say this. Has it still its quirks? Yes. But way less than I thought. And Gnome + their UI framework makes the apps look so georgous now. Really impressed by the quality of all those apps. OpenSource does not need to look ugly. Seems like #libadwaita makes it really straightforward to build beautiful apps.

A big thank you to all amazing open-source contributors to that ecosystem.
