I was helping an open-source app become more yesterday and we ran into the problem that it looks like Orca has a bit of a tendency to crash when exposed to webkitGTK applications. I've not done Desktop for a long time and have no idea what the workarounds for this would be, does anyone know anyone who might know what's happening here? Do we need to set a random environment variable somewhere or update a specific package so this person can do basic screen reader testing on their app?

    alright let's get started!

    got a backend that mirrors+archives to SQLite (hence Bobby) space weather data from the NOAA. and you'll be able to self-host a mirror.

    now to write a beautiful aurora dashboard in UI!

        been a while since I used a Grid (probably GTK2 days). and being able to set relative positions to other items is a lot more intuitive and less clunky than hardcoding edge numbers.

        also <sub> and <sup> texts are working nicely for scientific notations! 📊

          best way to do that?

                  I wonder if I can turn this into a widget that goes next to the weather in the shell?

                            cards use the same colour as windows. so I'm slightly changing the base window colour to the one used in sidebars (like in Files).

                            GTK doesn't seem to have a .dark or .light CSS selector. so had to manually toggle a class and listen for the dark mode signal. no big deal.

                                                      - a new SVG-based format for symbolic icons, including state-based animations
                                                      - GtkSvg, a paintable that renders (animated) SVG efficiently
