Open post Kuriken @citadel1@fosstodon.org · 7mo ago Replying to @mntmn@mastodon.social <p>for whoever needs to hear this: you're not alone. i'm not vibecoding any of the software i write. i'm writing it by hand, but i've leveled up my emacs with eglot/lsp. i'm modernizing my stacks and use languages with excellent compilers. i think about how to do more with less. i'm trying to combine the best human-written libraries and modules and assemble them with minimal boilerplate. i enjoy reading your manuals and references. i believe in robust, secure, human-written software.</p> @mntmn spoken like a true programmer 👏
Open post Kuriken @citadel1@fosstodon.org · 5mo ago Replying to @haydntrowell@mastodon.social <p>I built a super simple Japanese–English dictionary app for GNOME called Kotoba because I wanted something fast and keyboard-focused. It’s basically a lightweight wrapper around JMDict with a minimal UI. Thinking of polishing it for a public release. Would anyone else find that useful?</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/gnome" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>gnome</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/gtk" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>gtk</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/rust" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>rust</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>linux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>foss</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/japanese" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>japanese</span></a></p> @haydntrowell@mastodon.social would be great to see this running on mobile now that Japanese input has arrived in Phosh 🙂
Open post Kuriken @citadel1@fosstodon.org · 5mo ago Replying to @haydntrowell@mastodon.social @citadel1@fosstodon.org Should work. The interface is adaptive and I've tested it on mobile sizes with GTK's built-in simulator. Hoping to get a Flathub release out over the next week or so. 😁 @haydntrowell@mastodon.social Great! Looking forward to using it 😃
