After my talk at @gnome Asia Summit, I’ve published the source code of Jollpi, a Python-based text editor I’m rewriting with a modern stack.

Built with Python 3, @GTK 4 and GtkSourceView 5, using a modern async architecture and standard Python packaging (pyproject.toml, pip).
It installs cleanly and integrates like a regular Linux desktop app.

Feel free to try it and share feedback.

Kudos to @amolenaar and everyone else who worked on making @GTK on macOS better in recent years ❤️

I've finally have a working "Java-GI application template" with working localization, settings, desktop file, manifest, icons, etc, that can be distributed as a Flatpak. It's available here:

https://github.com/jwharm/java-gi-app-template

The application uses Gradle to build the source code, and Meson to install settings, resources, translations etc. Currently, both build systems are triggered separately from the Flatpak manifest. I will try to improve this, so that meson triggers the gradle build (or vice versa).

The screenshot shows the dutch (nl) translation that demonstrates the gettext integration.

Aaaand here we go! #puregotk #Go #GNOME binding examples, including subclassing and how to create a GObject library with Go (so you can distribute custom GTK widgets written in Go to C, JS, Vala, Python etc. apps)!

Top 5 reasons GNOME is awesome:

1. Distraction-free: we respect you and include personal digital wellbeing features

2. Accessibility: we work to make computing accessible to all

3. Design: we make a cohesive, modern experience that looks great

4. Free and Open Source: we preserve your freedoms

5. Privacy: your data is yours, and we respect that

If these resonate with you, consider supporting us today! We're aiming for 1,500 #FriendsOfGNOME by the end of the year.

After 14 years away from coding, I finally rebuilt my old Python + GTK text editor.

From Python2 + GTK2 → Python 3, GTK4 — and now preparing a talk for GNOME Asia Summit 2025.

Feels good to build again.
