I added a small elementaryOS patch for the terminal to open OSC 8 hyperlinks on ctrl-click, used by for example Claude Code. #elementaryos-patches #projects

Updated my elementaryos-patches workflow. It now has a
ep rebuild --allcommand which fetches the latest source, re-applies the patches, builds and installs in one go. #elementaryos-patches #projects -

Lamb 0.9.0
I've just released a new version of Lamb, and it's in use on this very site! Setup your timezone and schedule your posts and they will appear in your timeline and feeds even with relative dates by using the
createdfront-matter! More info on the scheduling page of the docs.Lamb has a brand new Notes theme you can pick through the settings by setting
theme = 2026, but this reminds me to make it the new default for the next version. I think it's beautiful and aligns nicely with the simple low-friction values of the project.
We also incorporated some best practices from the Micro.blog book, and all Lamb blogs now have JSON Feeds and Atom feeds have been optimised.

I hope the friction free nature brings back (or instills) the passion for blogging, let me know how you find Lamb!

Sidewing - a xbar style top bar for elementaryOS
I was looking to monitor developer related metrics when I noticed that there's no bitbar / xbar for Linux! In the age of AI-assisted engineering, that's no longer a massive time commitment, so I built one.

Sidewing is a GTK4 desktop bar for elementary OS-style multi-monitor setups. It runs local executable plugins, parses xbar-style output, and renders the result in a slim bar window on a selected display.
Current target:
- elementary OS 8 / Linux desktop environments with X11
- GTK4 + Vala
- local, unsandboxed script plugins
Sidewing discovers and runs plugins, schedules refreshes from xbar-style filenames, renders a translucent bar, and opens per-plugin popover menus with a built-in variables editor. See Current Limitations for scope boundaries.

Hello Browser 0.2.0
Hello Browser is a webview window for desktop web apps (written in vala, GTK4, for linux). The goal is to bundle a locally-served web app into something that behaves like a native desktop app.
What's new
- Links that open in a new window now open in your default browser. Previously, clicking a
target="_blank"link did nothing — the new window request was silently dropped. Hello Browser now hands those URLs off to whatever browser you've set as your system default. - Pass a URL directly. You can now run
hello-browser https://example.orgwithout the--urlflag. - Site launchers via
make desktop. A new Makefile target generates.desktopentries so a wrapped site shows up in your application menu like any other app.
Under the hood
- Ported from GTK3 / WebKitGTK 4.0 to GTK4 + WebKitGTK 6.0. You'll need the GTK4 and WebKitGTK 6.0 development packages to build.
- Build system streamlined; README updated with current setup instructions.
- Links that open in a new window now open in your default browser. Previously, clicking a

For anyone starting to fix their own open-source issues with patches on top of apt packages, but cannot upstream it due to AI policies: https://github.com/svandragt/elementaryos-patches I built some tooling to make this easy, and this is where I plan to keep my elementaryOS patches. #elementaryos-patches #projects

Lamb 0.8.0
Two weeks after Lamb 0.7.0, I released another significant new version of Lamb, my friction free microblogging project. This version includes support for Micropub, allowing you to post text and photos from anywhere, adds a Trash where deleted posts go for 30 days, support for drafts, a new docs site and a lot more (redirects)!
