Or start porting from GTK 3 and libhandy: https://gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/libadwaita/doc/main/migrating-libhandy-1-4-to-libadwaita.html

Hey folks, it feels a bit rude to ask again, but I’m still struggling to find work right now and don’t have much money left. I don’t have enough to pay rent or bills right now. If you can spare it, I would really appreciate if you could help me out.

Introducing “This Week in GNOME” 📣

Here's my GSoC update blog-post! Area selection editing and window selection for the new GNOME Shell screenshot UI: https://imolodetskikh.wordpress.com/2021/07/15/gsoc-2021-selection-editing-and-window-selection/

My dynamic render time MR has finally been merged to Mutter! https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1762

It should give a slight decrease in input latency, especially on lower refresh-rate displays such as 60 Hz. In rare cases it can also give a slight boost to the FPS in GNOME Shell.

This summer I'm implementing the cool new screenshot UI in GNOME Shell. Here's my blog post about what I've done so far: https://imolodetskikh.wordpress.com/2021/06/29/gsoc-2021-gnome-shell-screenshot-ui/

You know what: it'd be great if people who need accessibility didn't go around calling other people's work "trash". I get it: accessibility is hard, and required for people to use a computer—but you know how proprietary platforms deal with it? They pay developers. You know what Linux users do for it? They fucking whine about it, and then they go out and say that any effort made is trash.

Well, guess what: stuff doesn't fix itself.

Part 3 of my series on how GNOME development works is out now. This time: How to get things you want.

Fragments will get a big V2 update soon! 😎

Completely rewritten from scratch to make use of GTK4, libadwaita - and of course Rust!

A small sneak peek...
