@asbjorn @carl This is really cool, but having to ask for the user's matrix username/pw on my blog is... 😬

I know matrix doesn't really have better options right now, but still, that feels super unsafe. Matrix desperately needs an oauth flow or something

Often underappreciated (and/or dreaded :-) ) are Release Team members like @alatiera who somehow make all this build and get it out into the world

We'd have no @gnome at all without them, yet when things work we forget about them

Another is @exalm who somehow pulls amazing demos out of thin air and does a lot of behind-the-scenes plumbing for both shell and apps. They give us pretty animations, gestures and all manner of adaptiveness

#peoplebehindgnome

Random shout out for @brainblasted who has done amazing work right across @gnome 40 adapting apps to new patterns and fixing longstanding UX bugs

This will be an amazing release and a lot of that is thanks to Chris

I got one more change in for GNOME 40: better tab completion in the file manager! It's bothered me for a while now, so I'm especially excited that I got to improve it: https://www.jwestman.net/2021/02/17/files-tab-complete.html

Huge thanks to @antoniof_gnome@twitter.com
for reviewing this just in time for the release!

#MadeAThing …and a year later @brainblasted finally got it out into the world (Thank You :-) )

Typography is another little “tool-app” from the @gnome Design Tooling Team as a companion to (Colour) Palette offering buttons to copy various css classes/characters you may need in your app/mockup

Along the way we got a couple of gtk4 bugs ironed out, thanks @exalm et al for the help with that

As ever some nice artwork from @tbernard

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/

We are making progress on the GTK4 rewrite of Fractal (called fractal-nex)

Please note so far it's just the ui.😅

User research played a big part in GNOME 40 designs. It has helped guide specific choices that have improved the overall design and will make it a better experience for users.

Flatpak really does have its perks, doesn't it

Debian: *still ships alpha*

Ubuntu: Hey mate, your 0.2 that you wrote in a delusional fever that doesn't even work anymore? Delish.

me: Oh no.

Haven't posted anything in a while, so: adaptive tabs
