B2B Services around #gedit and libgedit.
If you know a community or company in need of custom developer tools, don't hesitate to get in touch 😃 !

Some #gedit news for the last couple of months.
The highlight is the section “Code re-use and Business-to-Business opportunities”. B2B around gedit (and libgedit) is still something to develop and to grow.

@matttbe @ploum When I saw Ploum move in with his family, I didn't show up directly. Instead, I printed - with #gedit, naturally - the HTML source of one of my previous blog post (written in a custom template system used only by me) and written in addition just my street number, then crossed the street and posted it discreetly 🙂
The blog post in question was not chosen randomly, since it was about a subject we chatted around tea some time earlier: https://informatique-libre.be/swilmet/blog/2022-09-20-gafam-magma.html
Denez Van DyckCould you cross the street to persuade @swilmet to add Gemtext syntax highlighting to Gedit? 😉

seanpm2001 🇺🇦️🇬🇱I am really glad that I did what I did today. I had been carelessly not saving files in Kate and Gedit since 2026, March 7th, and it was becoming a worry (even though autosave is present on both programs, it isn't always fully effective) Yesterday, I set a goal to save at least 50 files per day until all of the files were saved. This would have taken 16 days or more. Instead, I did it in 2 days (everything in Kate on 2026, March 31st, and everything in Gedit on 2026, April 1st, taking about 3 hours and 50 minutes in total) I then began to do massive file sorting. About 2 hours into this, my system randomly went to a black screen with a bunch of @ signs, then bounced to the login screen, where it would not let me log in, so I had to restart. A friendly reminder to save everything you have open right now. I am going to try and be more on top of this now. #save #autosave #backup #linux #crash #Gedit #kate
