Just in case: If you (unlike me) are using #chromium or #electron apps in #phosh running them like:

```
chromium --gtk-version=4 --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland
```

makes the #OSK unfold automatically now that chromium support text-input-v3.

(Thanks Hemish for the tip).

This goes to all application developers whose app shows a loading screen with "Fetching account info..." or "Getting things ready..." or similar:

What exactly is your app doing? Serious question.

is there a non-#Electron version of #Signal desktop?

Paste seems to be bugged in editors/vscode 1.96.4_2 and greater on FreeBSD.

If you have 1.96.4_1: consider locking it before your next upgrade of packages.

It’s that time again! I’m looking for help developing @buttercup - a free and #opensource #passwordmanager that’s #crossplatform and #selfhosted. It’s written in #typescript / #javascript, alongside #electron and #reactnative.

It was (and publicly still is) a sparse collection of GitHub repositories, but this has proven cumbersome to manage and I’m in the process of migrating it to a single monorepo. So far it’s proving to have been a fantastic decision and a new build of each application is progressing quickly. I’m aiming to have the entire suite rebuilt and released asap.

But I need more hands to make it move faster. If anyone would be interested in contributing on a mostly greenfield password management application, in the form of one of the following, I’d love to talk with you:
- mobile app (react native)
- browser extension
- cli utility

There’s more on the table than just contributor attribution, too. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you’re curious - I’m happy to talk shop and just discuss the project in general, even if you’re not interested in contributing. Boosts extremely welcome!

Introducing Boson, the native Electon wrapper for Steam games because running Chromium inside Proton is a bad idea.

And yes, game devs actually write their games in Electron for some reason. Crazy we know.

A while ago, someone on some #Web development #Matrix chatroom said #WebXDC is not much of an inventation. It's just an #Electron app like #DeltaChat executing some Javascript. And that the Web Engines are already written by big techs like #Google and #Mozilla. They wanted to say that webxdc is not that much of a big effort. TBH, I thought perhaps they are right about this, well... till today which I started reading webxdc documentations and try to write my own webxdc app. And then... 1/2

So #Tauri is the #Electron killer? Which still uses #Javascript frameworks .

Is this peak cross-platform?

Who uses @signalapp on a #Linux #Wayland #touch device on #aarch64 architecture?

I do on a #Librem5, via the flatpak provided by @adamth (Elagost).

There is one bug though that I would love to see fixed, and that is that when attaching a file in Signal, the #virtual #keyboard stops responding in Signal.

https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/issues/5798

Do you experience this bug as well?

Is there an #Electron #developer who could help fixing this bug?

So, #Mozilla #XUL was a problem but #Electron / #Tauri are not ... hmmm
