#JChemPaint based on @cdk really is a gem from the 90s. The 2D chemical structure editor got a beta release yesterday after nearly a decade and during the #CDK25UGM hackathon I created a #flatpak at https://flathub.org/apps/io.github.jchempaint.JChemPaint for it.

https://flathub.org/apps/org.qxmledit.QXmlEdit helped me a lot with viewing #XML formats while implementing them for #OpenChrom, so I flatpaked it.

https://flathub.org/apps/pl.nieto.fityk is another oldie in signal processing, but I was able to preserve it inside a #flatpak package on Linux.

Do you like #mMass? A great tool for #MALDI-TOF MS data analysis. I created a #flatpak for it at https://flathub.org/apps/org.mmass.mMass The author abandoned the tool and I am keeping it on live support for Linux.

FOSS strategy game OpenHV gets a release two years in the making

Do any of you remember OpenHV? Back in 2020, it was announced as an OpenRA-based free and open source RTS, based on designs from Daniel Cook that never made it into a game planned to be called Hard Vacuum but now it's here and it has a massive upgrade.

How do you solve #matchmaking for an unknown Open-Source game? We are currently trying an IRC based chat mode that is bridged into #Discord and @matrix so players can organize matches with a bot announcing them. Thanks to @freegamedev for hosting.
