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.

One week after we kicked off our year-end fundraiser, we’ve reached 800 #FriendsOfGNOME!
Our goal is a bit more ambitious, though: 1,500 by December 31. Help us out by joining today: https://donate.gnome.org
If you’ve already joined or are unable to right now, you can still help by sharing this post with friends and colleagues: https://blogs.gnome.org/foundation/2025/12/01/join-friends-of-gnome/
Let's secure the future of GNOME together and enable us to do even more great work next year.
We’re soooo close to 800 #FriendsOfGNOME; who is going to be the one to push us over that nice round number?? 👀
Top 5 #accessibility improvements in #GNOME Calendar 49:
1. Focus indicators were added in various places
2. Events are focusable with a keyboard
3. Year/month spin buttons are navigable with arrow keys
4. Calendar grids are skippable with Tab, and cells are wrapped via keyboard focus
5. Calendar list box now behaves like a check box
For screen readers: events and year/month spin buttons have proper semantics!
