Hylke Bons 🥜Dec 26

because I keep biting off more than I can chew. I wanted to release a small utility first to get familiar again with #GNOME / #GTK / #Flatpak development.

also something that I need myself. a week worth of hacking.

introducing Bobby: a SQLite file viewer.

I ran out of CI minutes so sadly no automatic Flatpak builds...

you'll get that in the new year and I'll submit it to #FlatHub then.

feedback welcome though if you are brave enough to compile from source. :)

@hbons No checked in manifest for a one click Builder flatpak build? ;-) Looks super nice though, will take a peek early next week!

@nedrichards if you need .sqlite files to test on: http://2016.padjo.org/tutorials/sqlite-data-starterpacks
SQLite Data Starter Packs | Public Affairs Data Journalism at Stanford | Fall 2016

This is a collection of public datasets conveniently packaged as SQLite databases to practice on. You don't have to worry about the data cleaning/import process, just download the SQLite database files and query them from your favorite SQLite client.

@hbons Love your work! That specific artifact (on x86_64) is giving me the 'classic' error: Invalid checksum of length 0 expected 32 when trying to install. I'm delighted to see your early new year is as productive as mine, albeit I just got my tax return done ;-)

@nedrichards it’s that procrastinating-on-other-things-energy boost.

Before I got down to "do tax return" on the Todo list. I only had "empty dresser", "build IKEA furniture" (depends on task 0) and "buy a new scarf". Can't believe I don't have a new scarf right now.

@nedrichards not sure about that error...does it also happen when you build the manifest locally?

I'll take a look, currently slightly blocked on a different yak to shave, but I'll get there.

@hbons I was thinking of writing something similar with go to try out desktop client creation.
I don’t know if I want to start learning rust yet 😃

@lhaig it’s baby Rust as I’m just starting to learn. :)
