GNOME has been moving in the right direction for a long time in my opinion, their concentration on making it easier for developers is really starting to pay off too.
- smoldesu 5y agoHow have they been making it easier on developers? I frankly think the GNOME documentation went heavily downhill after the release of 40, and their insistence on linking libdwaita makes it even harder for me to write GTK apps that function properly on GNOME. Everything about the transition feels like it was intended to push developers away, to me. I'd be interested to hear your input on it, though.
- petepete 5y agoWell, the move to GitLab was huge. Plus the fact you can download Builder and have something up and running in a matter of minutes. Y4s, it was all possible before but it's so much easier now. Just look at the smallish but beautifully polished apps that have appeared over the last year or two, Apostrophe, Shortwave, Fragments, Polari, Contrast, Cozy, Obfuscate, etc.
