What problem does it solve?
This Skill provides templates, patterns, and guidance to build native GNOME desktop applications using JavaScript (GJS) with GTK 4, Libadwaita, and the GNOME platform. It helps developers adopt UI design with XML or Blueprint, use GObject subclassing, configure Meson builds, and package apps with Flatpak, while leveraging GJS bindings for GLib/GIO/GTK4/Adw libraries.
Core Features & Use Cases
- UI development with GTK 4 and Libadwaita, including UI XML templates and GResource integration.
- GObject subclassing patterns and modern GJS best practices for robust, reusable widgets.
- Build, package, and distribute GNOME apps using Meson and Flatpak, plus guidance for desktop files, schemas, and resources.
Quick Start
Scaffold a GNOME app in JavaScript: create a basic window, wire up actions, and build/run with Meson/Flatpak workflows.
