I know I'm super late to the party here, but I just discovered #Flathub's new Year in Review page. Happy to learn that #Keypunch apparently won:
- "Newcomer of the Year" in the education category in 2024
- "Biggest Growth" and "Most Improved" in the education category in 2025To be honest this feels like I've missed out on my own Oscar's ceremony.

If you've used #Spotify on #GNOME lately, you've likely become familiar with its jarring blue title bar. This will likely go away soon thanks to Athul Iddya, who has worked on improving Chromium's Wayland integration for non-browser windows:

"Smijernsdørene vil også inkludere KI-genererte elementer av ting som blader og epler."
Seriøst? På Nidarosdomen? Kjenner at jeg blir voldsomt provosert.

It's been a while. I'm happy to report that both #Keypunch and #Fretboard have been updated to the #gnome 50 runtime as of today. Huge thanks to Sabri Ünal, @hub and everyone else on the Flathub team for the work they're doing helping our app ecosystem stay up to date ❤️

Lots of good talks were given at this year's #LinuxAppSummit — but the 24 hours of livestream footage are a little messy to navigate. I've extracted the talks into individual videos, created branded thumbnails and posted them on the LAS YouTube channel for easy browsing and sharing. Enjoy:

@gnomeapps I've used #Runemaster for debugging issues with #Keypunch's text generation! Albeit the interface has a lot of stuff going on at once, it's a nice app to have when working with character codes.
-
I’ve released a tiny #Keypunch update on #Flathub, with a couple of bug fixes and linguistic corrections.
Thanks to @ButterflyOfFire and @GeopJr for offering orthographic/cultural consultation on Kabyle and Greek respectively.
-
It's minor release time! I've sent off #Keypunch 6.2 and #Fretboard 9.1 to #Flathub, both containing updated user interface translations.
-
#Keypunch 6.0 is out! Learn what's new on my blog:

Are there any #Indonesian speakers on here who would like to help test #Keypunch's Indonesian text generation support?

Today #Bustle was accepted into #GNOMECircle. Bustle lets you visualize and analyze D-Bus activity with detailed sequence diagrams. Congratulations!

I've checked out @bluebuild tonight, and I find it really, really cool. I'm now running a system with:
- The official* set of #GNOME Core apps installed by default, most of them as Flatpaks from #Flathub
- * #Showtime and #Papers instead of their old counterparts, and #Decibels
- The full GNOME wallpaper collection supplanting Fedora's branded ones
- No Firefox RPM
- No Fedora Flatpak repositoryAnyone else using the image would in theory get the same experience out of the box. Pretty neat!
-
On a slightly related note: the Greek text generation in #Keypunch is in need of testing! If you happen to know the language well, feel free to let me know if it's good to go and the corresponding issue can be closed:

I’ve published a string freeze announcement for #Fretboard and #Keypunch:
https://discourse.gnome.org/t/upcoming-keypunch-and-fretboard-releases/27773?u=bragefuglseth
They will both get new releases in two weeks.
-
I'm happy to announce that both of my apps are now available for translation on Damned Lies, GNOME's common translation infrastructure!

The Authenticator app (https://apps.gnome.org/Authenticator) is super convenient to have when signing into various GNOME web services using GNOME's SSO service. Unfortunately, it's not that straightforward to set up additional 2FA apps for GNOME SSO due to subpar UX on Keycloak's side.
Because of that, I've written a section in the GNOME Project Handbook explaining how to do it: https://handbook.gnome.org/infrastructure/accounts/managing-accounts.html#manage-two-factor-authentication.

Speaking of, after 8 months on @flathub, Keypunch has passed 20k downloads! There are of course apps with way more than that, but it means a lot to me that the app is likely helping thousands of people improve their typing. Oh, and it also sounds impressive when I tell my uninitiated friends about it 🤭
-
Keypunch was super easy to integrate with Discord's rich presence feature because it has so many game-like characteristics. However, I didn't expect that people would put it in, like, their actual video game libraries, until someone recently asked if I could upload some Keypunch assets to SteamGridDB and Lutris. So, um, here you go, I guess! Relevant assets have been submitted for review on their respective sites.
-
I sent off a teeny tiny #Keypunch update to Flathub with updated user interface translations tonight!
-
As someone who frequently makes small contributions to many different repositories, Builder's git clone workflow is soooo nicely executed. It's super satisfying to just paste a link, click a button, wait a few seconds, and boom, have Builder open my local clone on the spot, ready to be worked on.

Keypunch 5.0 is out! This update brings:
- A system warning displayed when attempting to log out in the middle of a typing session
- Integration with your Discord status when using it alongside Keypunch
- Better utilization of available screen space on small sizes
- Text generation for Basque, Finnish, Romanian, and Vietnamese
- Arabic, Basque, Kabyle, Romanian, Russian, and Swedish user interface translations, making Keypunch available in a total of 23 languages -
-
Libadwaita's new adaptive testing feature has motivated me to finally fix Keypunch's mobile layout! The configuration dropdowns are now moved down to the text view on narrow screen sizes. It was pretty easy to accomplish with the new multi-layout widgetry. Amazing how far we've come on the adaptivity road now.

Slightly late to the party, but yay, #Fretboard is app of the day on #Flathub!
-
I'm having some #Fedora issues, would appreciate if any #AtomicDesktop experts could help me out!

I'm happy to announce that both my apps, #Keypunch and #Fretboard, have GNOME 47-ready versions packaged and shipped to #Flathub 🥳

Ciao! #Keypunch 3.1 is out, and it speaks Italian! This release also brings text generation support for Czech, Occitan and Polish, and UI translations for Occitan and Polish.
Thanks to everyone who has requested for their languages to be added and patiently tested the text generation implementations; keep the requests coming!

Is there anyone who is interested in taking over maintenance of this lovely chess timer app for #GNOME written in #Python? It's pretty cool (and a member of GNOME Circle!), but its maintainer, the wonderful Clara Hobbs, is stepping away from the project. If this sounds interesting to you, reach out to them!

Opened #Impression's app icon source file to work on brand colors for the app, and was reminded about how many iterations that icon required.
-
#Fretboard 7.1 is on its way to Flathub right now, with a couple of updated translations 🌐
-
It's not long until the 1st of June, so why not pick up the guitar and learn some catchy tunes for the summer? I've just published version 7.0 of Fretboard, which brings more accurate chord name prediction, note names on hover for the neck top toggles, and a couple of fixes for various small issues encountered since last release. It should be on Flathub very soon!
-
I'm excited to see Fretboard featured on @flathub's front page this week! 😃
-
This is the first time I've used Files' bulk renaming, and it's neat! Very useful that it can extract some MP3 metadata as well.
-
A new Fretboard update is on its way to Flathub! This one is mainly to keep it up-to-date with the latest and greatest platform improvements. In fact,the rest of its updates during the 46 cycle might end up only being translation updates (unless I decide to go down the merciless enshittification route, that is 😈)
-
Fretboard's chord pattern identifier has gotten so sophisticated now that it can identify chords that don't have a single variant present in the built-in chord set. I had to add a status page explaining this along with the improved algorithm. This fortunately only happens in absolute edge cases, so it's not an event that will occur particularly often.

Playing with the upcoming libadwaita dialog widget in Fretboard! Even though there's not much use for it outside of the about window in this particular app, I'm super excited about the new widgetry in general. It looks cool, and is going to make apps a lot more streamlined on mobile 📱️⚡️
-
App icon for @seadve's project!
-
Just finished this app icon! It's been a while since the last time I did one, since there's so much else happening right now! But I'll try to set off some more time to this going forward; designing app icons is such a nice break from other stressful things 🙂️
-
I'm publishing a minor translation update for Fretboard on Flathub right now. Thanks to @bittin, @sabriunal and @flipflop97 for being awesome people and making the GNOME ecosystem more convenient and accessible for speakers of their respective languages!
-
I'm publishing a new minor release of Fretboard on Flathub right now. It contains updated translations and some fixes to shape it up for inclusion in GNOME Circle 😁️
-
Happy holidays! No matter if you participate in the tradition of gift giving at this time of year or not, I've released Fretboard 5.0 as a present for everybody who happens to use it 🎁️
In the spotlight of this update there is automatic chord name formatting and an enharmonic indicator that shows when a chord has more than one possible name.
As always, you can get Fretboard on Flathub: https://flathub.org/apps/dev.bragefuglseth.Fretboard
