Looks like I'm now almost a cybercriminal according to Apple
Damn it, I'm my app is crashing deep in the QtQuick text engine and the mesa drivers. This won't be fun :(
It only took me two months but now Tokodon has a logo designed by @Blort.
Spell-checking is coming to QML/Kirigami applications: https://carlschwan.eu/2021/10/25/spellchecking-with-qml/
Spellchecking with QML

QML is a nice technology but it sometimes feels that some parts of KDE Frameworks aren’t neatly integrated with it. For example, until recently KNotification didn’t have QML bindings, which was the same for KSyntaxHighlighting. Thankfully Volker Krause took care of both. Another part of the often-used KDE Frameworks but had missing QML bindings was Sonnet. Sonnet is a very nice KDE framework powering KDE text areas with spell checking.

I just released version 0.2 of KQuickImageEditor, the image editor used in @neochat Koko and @mauiproject Pix. This release makes it possible to resize images and improve the cropping feature. https://carlschwan.eu/2021/10/02/kquickimageeditor-0.2-released/
KQuickImageEditor 0.2 released

I’m happy to announce the 0.2 release of KQuickImageEditor. KQuickImageEditor is a QML library providing basic image editing functionality. It is currently used by Koko, NeoChat and Maui Pix. In this release, Noah Davis worked on improving the usability and design of the the existing croping feature. It now features more touch friendly handles that are consistently looking with the one from Spectacle. The old ReziseRectangle component is now deprecated and will be removed in the next version of KQuickImageEditor.

Perfect weather to work on KDE PIM stuff #kde
