TheEvilSkeleton<p>Happy Disability Pride Month everybody :)</p><p>During the past few weeks, there's been an overwhelming amount of progress with accessibility on GNOME Calendar:</p><p>• <a href="https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/merge_requests/587" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Event widgets/popovers will convey to screen readers that they are toggle buttons. They will also convey of their states (whether they're pressed or not) and that they have a popover.</a><br>• <a href="https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/merge_requests/588" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Calendar rows will convey to screen readers that they are check boxes, along with their states (whether they're checked or not). Additionally, they will no longer require a second press of a tab to get to the next row; one tab will be sufficient.</a><br><br>• <a href="https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/merge_requests/603" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Month and year spin buttons are now capable of being interacted with using arrow up/down buttons. They will also convey to screen readers that they are spin buttons, along with their properties (current, minimum, and maximum values). The month spin button will also wrap, where going back a month from January will jump to December, and going to the next month from December will jump to January.</a><br>• <a href="https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/merge_requests/606" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Events in the agenda view will convey to screen readers of their respective titles and descriptions.</a></p><p>Accessibility on Calendar has progressed to the point where I believe it's safe to say that, as of GNOME 49, <strong>Calendar will be usable exclusively with a keyboard, without significant usability friction!</strong></p><p>There's still a lot of work to be done in regards to screen readers, for example conveying time appropriately and event descriptions. But really, just 6 months ago, we went from having absolutely no idea where to even <em>begin</em> with accessibility in Calendar — which has been an ongoing issue for literally a decade — to having something workable exclusively with a keyboard and screen reader! :3</p><p>Huge thanks to <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@nekohayo" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>nekohayo</span></a></span> for coordinating the accessibility initiative, especially with <a href="https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/issues/1036" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">keeping the accessibility meta issue updated</a>; Georges Stavracas for single-handedly maintaining GNOME Calendar and reviewing all my merge requests; and <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://gts.trycht.cz/@tyrylu" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>tyrylu</span></a></span> for sharing feedback in regards to usability.</p><p>All my work so far has been unpaid and voluntary; hundreds of hours were put into developing and testing all the accessibility-related merge requests. I would really appreciate if you could spare a little bit of money to support my work, thank you 🩷</p><p>• <a href="https://ko-fi.com/theevilskeleton" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">ko-fi.com/theevilskeleton</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br>• <a href="https://github.com/sponsors/TheEvilSkeleton" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/sponsors/TheEvilSke</span><span class="invisible">leton</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Accessibility</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/a11y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>a11y</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/DisabilityPrideMonth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DisabilityPrideMonth</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/GNOME" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GNOME</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/GNOMECalendar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GNOMECalendar</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/GTK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GTK</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/GTK4" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GTK4</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Libadwaita" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Libadwaita</span></a></p>

TheEvilSkeleton<p>As part of our volunteer-driven accessibility initiative in GNOME Calendar, and for the first time in the 10+ years of Calendar's existence, we finally <a href="https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/merge_requests/559" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">completed and merged the first step</a> needed to have a working calendar app for people who rely on keyboard navigation. This merge request in particular makes the event widgets focusable with navigation keys (arrow left/up/right/down) and activatable with space/enter. This will be available in GNOME 49.</p><p>Most of GNOME Calendar's layout and widgets consist of custom widgets and complex calculations, both independently and according to other factors (window size, height and width of each cell, number of events, positioning, etc.), so these widgets need to be minimal to have as little overhead as possible. This means that these widgets also need to have the necessary accessibility features reimplemented or even rethought, including and starting with the event widgets.</p><p>We also hope to get other parts of GNOME Calendar accessible before GNOME 49, but I can't promise anything at the moment. We did start working with making the month view accessible: <a href="https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/merge_requests/564" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-c</span><span class="invisible">alendar/-/merge_requests/564</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/GNOME" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GNOME</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Calendar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Calendar</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/GNOMECalendar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GNOMECalendar</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/GTK4" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GTK4</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/GTK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GTK</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Libadwaita" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Libadwaita</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Accessibility</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/a11y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>a11y</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a></p>
TheEvilSkeleton<p>Since Upscaler has just reached 150,000 installs on Flathub, I'm releasing Upscaler 1.5.0! Upscaler is an app that allows you to upscale images locally, securely, and completely offline.</p><p>Thanks to <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/@zoeyTheWitch" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>zoeyTheWitch</span></a></span>'s wonderful contribution, this release introduces the long overdue functionality to load multiple images at once and add them to the queue. This avoids having to load and add each image to the queue, which will significantly speed up the process of adding images to the queue.</p><p>The entire async and threading model was ported to the <code>asyncio</code> and <code>threading</code> modules, thanks to the long *await*ed (pun very much intended) <code>asyncio</code> integration in PyGObject that was made available recently.</p><p>Loading images has become much faster and smoother, while using less memory as a direct result of the <code>asyncio</code> and <code>threading</code> port.</p><p>This release also makes saving the resulting images completely optional. Additionally, there is now a copy button to copy images without saving them. As such, the process to upscale images has gotten more straightforward than ever – just load the image, set the desired scaling factor and the image type.</p><p>The progress rows have gotten a redesign to make them more reminiscent to typical rows with progress bars.</p><p>You can get Upscaler 1.5.0 on Flathub: <a href="https://flathub.org/apps/io.gitlab.theevilskeleton.Upscaler" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">flathub.org/apps/io.gitlab.the</span><span class="invisible">evilskeleton.Upscaler</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/GTK4" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GTK4</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/GTK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GTK</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Libadwaita" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Libadwaita</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/GNOME" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GNOME</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/FOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FOSS</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSource</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/FreeSoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreeSoftware</span></a></p>

István<p>Hey gnome folks!</p><p>I have some free time and want to start out learning to build libadwaita apps. Where do I even start? Is there anyone here who started gnome app development recently and still remembers how they got started? Or some veterans with a good understanding of recent best practices for gnome app development?</p><p><a href="https://chaos.social/tags/gnome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gnome</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/libadwaita" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>libadwaita</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/adwaita" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>adwaita</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/gtk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gtk</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/gtk4" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gtk4</span></a></p>
