Write.as GTK App

A Write.as desktop app that targets all freedesktop.org compliant desktops, e.g. GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, etc; basically everything except Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android. It lets you compose and publish posts to Write.as.

For a UI toolkit it uses GTK, and relies on the writeas-cli for API calls and post management.

Installation

Write.as GTK uses the Meson/Ninja build system, and as such you can install it on any FreeDesktop.Org compatible system using:

meson build && cd build
ninja
sudo ninja install

This will install the executable file and the metadata required to integrate with those desktops. It also installs metadata to be collected by package repositories which integrate with certain package managers for richer presentation of apps.

Packaging

You can package Write.as GTK for Debian/Apt-based systems by running in this repository’s root directory:

dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc

This’ll give you a .deb file in the parent directory.
