GNOME users, I have some questions for you! This won’t single-handedly drive the design of GNOME (I’m not that influential… yet 😉 ), but anecdata is always nice to help unstick design discussions or just gather insights.
(Polls will follow posts as you can’t share an image and a poll, sadly.)
Do you use the “Recent” view in Files?
(See previous post for screenshots)
Do you use the “Recent” view in the file chooser, e.g. when opening a file in an app? Note this is NOT the same as when browsing in the Files app.
(Answer in the following poll.)

Do you use the “Starred” view in the Files app?
(See previous post for a screenshot, reply for context.)
Do you use the “Large Text” option in Settings → Accessibility → Seeing?
Alternatively, do you set a different font scaling factor somewhere else, e.g. in Tweaks?

If you use GNOME, do you use “Focus on Hover” or “focus follows mouse” behavior in GNOME?

If you use GNOME, do you use auto-starting apps, e.g. apps that launch when you log in?

If you use GNOME, do you use Tweaks for one of these settings, and/or something else?
• Text size/font scaling
• Window focus behavior
• Startup/auto-starting apps
(Sorry this is worded kind of awkwardly… Feel free to reply for context/nuance!)
@cassidy i only use it for managing startup apps, but hey i started writing a #libadwaita app to just do only one thing: add, remove and edit startup apps. Considering i am still a beginner, there are a lot of issues where i am unable to know what to do: like how to access app icons outside flatpak sandbox and stuff like that (all the issues i mostly have are related to flatpak sandbox because i would want my app to packaged as flatpak while still having whole functionality)
@hemish hopefully we can move this into Settings in some way that makes sense! I think we’re a little hesitant to add yet-another pane to Settings, but if it’s something people use, it would be good to have one less reason to have to install Tweaks. :)
