(I'm updating this if you inform me of missing GNOME Circle apps in the above list, if PRs are created or merged.)

[linsui]

I tried to build Audio Sharing but it doesn't work for me. linsui@784b814

[jtojnar]

@linsui If you share what does not work, maybe we can help.

[linsui]

https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/AudioSharing/-/issues/6 With pulseaudio I got this error and with pipewire it can't find the sink.

[BenediktBroich]

I opened a pr for citations here: #202605

[linsui]

What's the recommanded methed to support auto update for these apps?

[jtojnar]

The following might be the simplest if fetchFromGitLab is used and there are e.g. cargoDeps:

passthru.updateScript = nix-update-script { };

[MordragT]

I believe Zap https://apps.gnome.org/app/fr.romainvigier.zap/ is also missing

[jtojnar]

Zap is already tracked in #200970.

[BenediktBroich]

Collision draft pr is here and is waiting for crystal 1.6 to merge.

[BenediktBroich]

Here is the PR for File Shredder/Raider. It is now merged.

[BenediktBroich]

Here is the next pr for #208409

[BenediktBroich]

@auroraanna How do you make these nice links with the icon?

[auroraanna]

@BenediktBroich Look at the edit history, you can link a PR or issue with # or the URL to the PR or issue. Then GitHub will add that icon and a link to the PR or issue.

[mbledkowski]

Packages not listed that are also missing:

• Emblem - https://apps.gnome.org/app/org.gnome.design.Emblem
• Gaphor - https://apps.gnome.org/app/org.gaphor.Gaphor

[foo-dogsquared]

PR for packaging Emblem is at #213740.

[0xMRTT]

PR for Elastic is here

[tscolari]

Cartridges (https://apps.gnome.org/app/hu.kramo.Cartridges/) seems to be missing too

[getchoo]

Cartridges (https://apps.gnome.org/app/hu.kramo.Cartridges/) seems to be missing too

just made a pr for it :) #234486

[BenediktBroich]

• health
• identity
• webfont-kit-generator

[BenediktBroich]

• workbench

[sund3RRR]

I have a working derivation for Collision #242681
But ideally we need to package gi-crystal first #243914
So i'm waiting for gi-crystal PR to be approved.

[sund3RRR]

Collision is done

[getchoo]

cartridges has been merged

[BenediktBroich]

[michaelgrahamevans]

Clairvoyant: #281306

[michaelgrahamevans]

Chess Clock: #281340

[auroraanna]

Not sure if there's a point to adding apps to the list which have already been added…

[michaelgrahamevans]

I have opened the following pull requests:

• lorem: init at 1.3 #281569
• fretboard: init at 5.3 #281570
• forge-sparks: init at 0.2.0 #281571

Also it seems that Metronome is no longer in Gnome Circle.

[michaelgrahamevans]

Also it seems that Metronome is no longer in Gnome Circle.

That's not to say we cannot package it, it has received new contributions and releases since then :)

[michaelgrahamevans]

I have opened pull requests for the following apps which are not listed yet:

• Switcheroo switcheroo: init at 2.0.1 #282067
• Telegraph telegraph: init at 0.1.8 #282069
• Paper Clip paper-clip: init at 4.0 #282070

The following apps are also not packaged or listed here:

• Decibels
• Letterpress

[sund3RRR]

Errands: #278951

Merged

[lolbinarycat]

should these apps be added as pkgs.* or pkgs.gnome.*? the names are extremely generic, so putting them in a separate namespace seems potentially useful.

[jtojnar]

They should go to top level, gnome scope is only gfor gnome packages and we have been slowly moving stuff out of there.

[honnip]

Missing in the lists:

• https://apps.gnome.org/Biblioteca/
• https://apps.gnome.org/app/io.github.finefindus.Hieroglyphic - It was added to the Circles app 2 days ago, and doesn't seem to be listed on apps.gnome.org yet.

[getchoo]

Would there be any interest in forming a team around these apps?

Given the activity here, the amount of apps in the circle now (with more being added all the time), and their usually massive similarities, I was thinking it could be good to have alongside the core GNOME team -- sorta like what they do upstream :p

cc @Aleksanaa, since I've seen you active around the GTK/libadwaita stuff

[Aleksanaa]

Sounds good.

[getchoo]

After the PR above, I'm pretty sure the only app in the circle we're missing now is Workbench. Awesome work everyone! 🎉

[auroraanna]

well it seems like there is new ones popping up every now and then, maybe there's some feed to suscribe to?

[getchoo]

Not that I know of. I've only been using their commit logs and issues

I'll ask in their Matrix room though, since it would be really cool
