Internships
FlatSync
Keep your Flatpak apps synchronized between devices
IlChitarrista announces
FlatSync’s Ignored Apps implementation is now merged! It will be possible to make FlatSync ignore certain apps and automatically installed dependencies are excluded by default. Adwaita was also updated to 1.6 with the new Button Row and Spinner.
As Google Summer of Code comes to an end, having achieved the planned features, we’re now looking into further improvements and preparations for Flathub release and GNOME Circle acceptance. I’m very grateful for this Internship, it has been a beautiful way to start contributing; I want to thank everyone involved, especially my mentor Cogitri.
Keep tuned for further work!
