Zwarf boosted

Update:
In my old version I managed timezones through my own calculations. Now I switched to GDateTime from .
Furthermore it is now possible to change the timezone in the app settings. The default timezone is the one used by the system.
Next week I want to connect the calculations of the position of sun, moon and milky way to the user interface.

News from my app :
I worked a lot with libshumate which is GNOMEs map widget written for GTK 4. But I noticed that there was no signal emitted when a user changes the location of the map. It took me a lot of time and I haven't thought I could make it BUT I made my first merge request which adds this signal to . I hope it gets merged this would be awesome ๐Ÿ˜ฅโ˜บ

Did you know that one of the ways Android and IOS reduce energy consumption is by using a unified system-level notification provider?
UnifiedPush is FOSS implementation of the same idea that could help projects such as #pinephone and #linuxphones in general by providing both a framework to reduce battery consumption and a more unified interface to code notifications on.

If you follow FOSS, would you please boost?

In the end, only a few lines of code were necessary but to figure out how to connect to a map provider was not that easy. I didn't knew that there was a "load_defaults" option which is nice ๐Ÿ˜…

I finally have a working map view in my app .

I used the new library which is the version of .
The ShumateSimpleMap widget is quite convenient to use!
The documentation however is nearly not existing and it was at least for me quite an effort to create a working widget. But now it looks nice ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ‘

I made good progress today and added a lot of GUI related code to and much better I understand more how things work from day to day ๐Ÿ˜Š

I managed to make a push every day for 7 days in a row now with most of the work done while traveling to work by train ๐Ÿ˜„

There is still a lot to do but I am quite happy with the progress and there are still some days left in the first month of 2022.

I just added the search bar. The next step will be to find how to correctly get the information from (Translate e.g. a city to coordinates). I already did this once but I think the way I did it would have been considered bad programming... ๐Ÿ˜…

BTW: My goal would be to have a working and by the end of the year.

Finally understood a little bit how to create my own GObjects! This will help developing the UI much faster from now on and furthermore the style is now much more like ๐Ÿ’ช
3 days in a row with a push! ๐Ÿ˜„
Starting my own ๐Ÿ˜‚

I tried for hours to add desktop icons and symbolic icons to my app but it didn't work.
It took me 4!!! hours to notice that there is a difference between really installing an app and running it with Builder.
Yes, afterwards it is obvious but for a newbie like me this wasn't.
So if you are new in the game: App icons only appear if you install the app so every file is at the right place on your system. Pressing play in GNOME Builder is not the same! ๐Ÿ˜„
