@deobald I get the urge to actually write a proper packaging thing for this now lol

In some more fun #puregotk #GNOME news - I managed to get Meson to work on macOS. You can even write a GObject library in Go now, compile it to a dylib and typelib, and then another puregotk-based app (or GJS, Python etc.) can load the custom widget and display it with no issues!

Even cooler - you can cross-compile this for macOS from Linux, no CGo/macOS C compiler required :)

We've been busy implementing p2panda's high-level Node API!

It's an opiniated - but also much easier to use, out-of-the box p2panda stack: the thing which orchestrates all of our individual modules without all the footguns you might encounter when trying to assemble them yourself.

Example:

let node = p2panda::spawn().await?;
let (tx, rx) = node.stream(topic).await?;

This does networking, discovery, bootstrap, sync, event streaming, ordering, storage and more! Let us tell you more about it:
