gnome 50 is a nice round-number excuse to try building a gnome app. just do something for yourself, for no good reason. it's bloody fun to build a desktop app in 2026. and you know you need something to take the edge off.

you can use typescript or rust or python or c# or java or basically whatever language is hip with the kids these days. which means no haskell. sorry. it's not 2009.

there are even ways to write desktop apps in go: https://codeberg.org/puregotk/puregotk

as a bonus, if your weird little app goes anywhere, you might get a fun icon. ❤️
