I realize I’m pushing past the self promo rules a bit. I’ll correct that with my future posts.
It didn’t feel right to just post the app’s homepage here, so I wrote a bit about why and how I built this app. I’ve always been fascinated with desktop applications, but I ended up becoming a web person instead. This was my first time making a proper desktop (and mobile, if you’re extra cool) app – 12-year-old me would get probably get a kick out of this.
I would still very much like a job though, which is why I invested in highly demanded skills as Vala programming and Haskell Flatpak packaging.
🙃
I find myself in a similar position and have been investing in highly demanded skills like C, GTK4 and DuckDB! oh, and a bit of Perl on the side to stand out from the crowd!
Love to see somebody else making GTK4 applications! I have worked with Vala, but I was quite surprised of how usable the gtk .ui xml files are. I was just by default initially biased against xml, but it actually works quite similar to web development in the sense that you make the layout in XML, and then, in my case, on C call elements by id and attach functionality to those widgets.

Your last self-authored piece was three months ago and have plenty of comments on other people’s submissions, you’re doing fine!

I appreciate the example screenshot on the codeberg page referencing Omega Mart.
