It probably is. Since they already have a working web app, why would they throw all that away and start a new project from scratch targeting 3 platforms (MacOS, Linux and Windows) …

Leading to features like "Karmic Dice" in the recent Baldur's Gate 3

That seems like missing the point of the article. What I understand the author to mean with Dart plan vs Typescript plan is the way these languages approached evolution of the base…

When you don’t care about the discussions being in the public record the comments don’t necessarily need to be integrated in the blog. I have my email on my personal site and when …

I'm putting my full comment here to add to the Linux votes since I'm on Linux 80% of my time. Although, I will be given the macOS trial a shot soon as I have an iOS project in the …

How does N relate to the number of parameters that is frequently mentioned?

Imagine your keyboard lagging a few extra ms before the character you typed is visible on the screen.

I have a feeling desktop development is going to slowly revert back to classic OOP paradigms just like the web world detoured from MPA -> SPA -> SPA+SSR -> back to something that l…

Using the Spotify Rest API it is already possible to build nice feature rich Spotify clients for remote players. I don't think there is a supported native playback library? I'm not…

One of the things I'm thinking about recently is putting a Mac mini on my desk for occasional iOS development on multiplatform projects (main laptop is Linux) and keep it always ru…

More like an ADHD-sufferer that barely gets anything done

No notifications aside from Signal, some Matrix channels of my OSS project and my work Teams. All the rest including WhatsApp has notifications disabled. Phone is on DnD most of th…

Since you mentioned Kotlin, you might be interested in the recent gtk-kn effort which provides OOP bindings to GTK in Kotlin Native. (Early preview, not production ready at all) ht…

This example shows off the builder style, but since gtk-rs is built on top of GTK, .ui XML files are also supported. You can edit .ui files using the legacy Glade editor (with a co…

I explained in other siblings already why the toolkit cannot make assumptions about storing and restoring the window size. The app knows about the content and requests one or more …

As explained in a sibling comment, the toolkit cannot make assumptions about restoring an apps window state to its previous size. Sure it might work for simple hello world apps tha…

It has some logic to it though: An application developer is going to use the toolkit to open one or more windows on startup and the DE/WM has to place those somewhere. The first wi…

The window state is not the GTK devs problem but an app developer problem. One of the very first topics in the GNOME developer guide is how to use settings to save/restore window s…

From what I've seen the .ui format for Gtk3 and Gtk4 are different and Glade does not support Gtk4 Widgets or its additional libraries like libadwaita. Cambalache is a successor fo…

The discussion is mostly about what a distribution should contain. I don't think a distribution has to contain all the possible software applications in existence. Instead, I think…

What is the problem with libadwaita?

GTK has bindings to modern languages. The gtk-rs project is actively working on Rust bindings. I'm personally working with some others on Kotlin Native bindings and I know a new JV…

Check out the gtk-rs project which provides the Rust bindings.

For base packages like desktop environments, tools, libraries, popular applications, etc, yes. But I don't think they should be responsible for every end-user third party applicati…

They solve the problem of being able to run software against a known set of dependencies instead of depending on the versions that come with the distro. Older packages can still ru…
