How fast can you type? Find out with my new app, Keypunch!

I've worked on this for the last couple of months, and it's finally out. Keypunch lets you practice your typing skills with automatically generated pseudo-text in your language of choice. Alternatively, you can supply it with your own text, such as song lyrics, Wikipedia articles, and quotes. Get ready to accelerate your typing speed!

Get it on Flathub: https://flathub.org/apps/dev.bragefuglseth.Keypunch

I'd like to thank @gregorni, @vixalientoots, and Ibrahim Muhammad for helping me with quality checking the internationalized text generation so far. Ibrahim has patiently tested my various iterations of the text widgetry to ensure that it handles Arabic text properly.

I'd also like to thank @sophie for pointing me in the right direction when building the text widgetry, and for helping me get started with libadwaita's animation framework.

You're all wonderful people! 🥰

I was sad to find a surprising lack of visual scripting apps for Linux. Apple's Shortcuts app is very powerful and can be incredibly useful. It's not like we don't have the technical ability to make something similar.

So I started working on one myself :blobfoxfloofcofe:

Anyone attending GUADEC in Denver want to chat about metered data and resource scheduling? I might have inherited some stuff there and I think it would be amazing to sync up with what everyone’s working on.

Trying something for this app: https://flathub.org/apps/com.jeffser.Alpaca

Side note: the app works surprisingly well on my fairly old laptop, I'm kind of impressed.

Apparently the German government paid Microsoft 198 million Euro for software licenses in 2023 alone…and all I can think of is the good that such a large sum could do if instead it was donated to the Linux foundation and various other projects. 😳

@amxmln There's been so much good that's come from the Sovereign Tech Fund giving GNOME 1 € million to work on important projects.

https://foundation.gnome.org/2023/11/09/gnome-recognized-as-public-interest-infrastructure/

This Week In GNOME has a section with so much happening each week as a result.

https://thisweek.gnome.org/

(Several of these projects aren't even GNOME specific, but improve the stack for everyone, like many accessibility improvements.)

I can't even begin to imagine the impact if it were nearly 200× more per year.

Auto complete coming to Workbench 🛠️

Besides writing GTK faster than light, I want to use it to help newcomers discover and learn about widgets and properties.

Thanks @andyholmes for the help!

It's not long until the 1st of June, so why not pick up the guitar and learn some catchy tunes for the summer? I've just published version 7.0 of Fretboard, which brings more accurate chord name prediction, note names on hover for the neck top toggles, and a couple of fixes for various small issues encountered since last release. It should be on Flathub very soon!

Huge thanks to @kabushawarib for eliminating the flickering that occurred in 46's "Global Search" feature! This should help performance a bit, and improve for light/motion-sensitive users.
If all goes well, the bugfix would probably make its way into 46.3, I presume.

Sometimes I hack around with the transparency & blur implementations for #GNOME, create a #GtkWebView2 with a tranparent background enabled, and just am in awe for a minute at what is possible on this platform
