Getting Things GNOME!

Here's an idea if someone is looking for a fun little #UX project: an automatic low-visual-stimulation sidebar fade-out feature/plugin for @GetThingsGNOME. I think more apps should offer that kind of zen functionality in @GNOME. github.com/getting-things-gn…

Whoa, with @GetThingsGNOME 0.5, for the first time ever, my 1200+ tasks launch in 7 seconds. Before upgrading, version 0.4 needed 37 seconds to do the same thing. Switching between tags is also instantaneous, and so is searching. I underestimated those perf optimizations 🚀

Really thrilled that @diego_gangl implemented my wish for a timer-based search in @GetThingsGNOME—now my searches take 3 secs (incl. typing) instead of 17! Are you a heavy GTG user? Try the git version & let me know what difference this makes on your end. github.com/getting-things-gn…

Here's why you should test the development version of @GetThingsGNOME as soon as possible with a copy of your real data: fortintam.com/blog/gtg-data-…

Poor @diego_gangl thought he was out of bugs, and now probably regrets asking me to test his new @GetThingsGNOME file format again, because this is how I do #QAtesting when I start actively trying to break your toys (did I miss anything? suggestions welcome 😈) #Python

I just went through 330+ @GetThingsGNOME notification emails (discussions & code activity) for September & October. Lots of new folks getting involved, many contributions, super exciting! Big props to @diego_gangl for merging tons of PRs, and working on big architectural changes!

In one hour (15h45 EDT / 19h45 UTC), join me at #GUADEC2020 in track/room no.1 for my @GUADEC live presentation about FLOSS community & #OpenSource #ProjectManagement: "Bringing your favorite @GNOME app back from the dead"! Videoconferencing details here: events.gnome.org/event/1/pag…

Thanks @ChrisLAS, @wespayne, @chzbacon for having me near the start of @linuxunplugged's 361st episode to talk about @GetThingsGNOME from an #OpenSource #CommunityManagement & #ProjectManagement perspective. It was fun! You can listen to the episode here: linuxunplugged.com/361

After years of being stuck on the 0.3.1 version of @GetThingsGNOME... being able to finally release 0.4, then launch the @FlatpakApps package on my @GNOME desktop, and see it display my hundreds of personal tasks in a modern @GTKtoolkit #GTK3 GUI... is a beautiful sight.

I have made a quickie status update video that summarizes what I've been up to lately during the lockdown: preparing @GetThingsGNOME for its first new release in 7 years! youtube.com/watch?v=cR7ARrJ9…

In the past few weeks I decided to focus on putting the @GetThingsGNOME project back on track, improving the "developer experience" to attract new contributors. I have summarized my recommendations in this article on #OpenSource #CommunityManagement: fortintam.com/blog/improving…

Exported all @GetThingsGNOME wiki pages I could find. *49* of them. You can bet I'm going to clean/migrate the hell out of them. My plan: the wiki will be for "Introducing/marketing the project", period. Anything "user documentation" or "contributing" will become files in Git.

For those interested in personal productivity apps in @GNOME and GTG in particular, I have now created a Twitter account for wiki.gnome.org/Apps/GTG at @GetThingsGNOME
