Up now: a blog post on how you can use the flatpak CLI to develop, test, and create distribution tarballs for your applications: https://blogs.gnome.org/christopherdavis/2021/02/16/developing-with-the-flatpak-cli/
Since the icon is property of HdyAvatar you can connect the widget directly to a libfolks contact.
In vala it will look like this:
contact.bind_property("avatar",
this.avatar,
"loadable-icon",
BindingFlags.SYNC_CREATE);
In libhandy 1.1 we will get a better API for HdyAvatar for using a custom image. You can set a GLoadableIcon (which includes GdkPixbuf and GFIleIcon) that is then loaded, resized and displayed automatically by HdyAvatar.
@exalm and @KekunPlazas helped a lot getting it merged, thank you very much.
My favorite tool for development has to be toolbox. Where flatpak doesn’t cut it for development, like for terminals or system monitors, toolbox comes in to help. While not sandboxed to the extent flatpak is, toolbox allows me to use the power of containers while working on system components.
Using I can install future versions of libraries in toolbox and develop system components with them, without having to mess with my host system in any way.

I'm already excited about working full-time on Fractal for the coming months.

Tech press: please stop being terrible. If you're going to cover a topic, come to the communities and ask about it.
It's okay not to know. It's not ok to pretend you do, and publish false information.
Most of the time, maintainers will answer you, but you need to make the effort and reach out. And it's your job.

I've cleaned up the Flatpak Github action I've made a while ago. It's pretty easy to setup now & it produces a bundle that's uploaded through github artifacts.
