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!
Thank you. Seriously.
What's Next? The foundation is solid now. The performance is respectable. With this groundwork, adding new features becomes safer and faster.
But for now? I'm enjoying the process. Building something useful, learning along the way, and sharing it with people who appreciate thoughtful software.
That's the whole point, isn't it?

Mosaic WM exists because I wanted a tiling experience that felt native to GNOME. Something that doesn't fight the desktop, but enhances it. Every optimization, every bug fix, every architectural improvement serves that goal: making window management disappear so you can focus on what matters.

This year brought great improvements to #accessibility in GNOME, including:
• Accessibility from the start on the login screen
• Full accessibility of GNOME Web
• Tons of improvements to Calendar
• Screen reader integration for Notifications
• Configure #Orca screen reader from Settings

Help us reach 1,500 #FriendsOfGNOME so we can focus on accessibility even more in 2026!
Thank you. Seriously.
