  • Guidance for implementing application lifecycle signals (startup, activate, shutdown) and threading best practices to prevent UI freezes and crashes.
  • Practical patterns for configuring GSettings, loading resources, and preparing packaging considerations, ensuring maintainable and distributable apps.

Quick Start

Create a minimal GTK4/libadwaita skeleton that follows the recommended lifecycle, settings integration, and resource loading patterns.
