I’m beginner in desktop development and want to integrate spell check feature for GTK TextView widget. Already know how to work with tags and buffer, just not sure about dictionary provider: with some native API or by using external software.
Where I can start from, to not write lot of code, especially if something already exists in GNOME environment for these needs.

Thank you!
it’s libaspell-dev in Ubuntu?
No, libaspell is something different. Aspell is a set of dictionnaries, with low-level APIs to access them.
That said, libspelling depends on enchant that itself may (optionally) depend on libaspell 
On ubuntu, the devel package is Ubuntu – Details of package libspelling-1-dev in noble
libspelling-dev is mostly for C, if you use Rust better look at the official libspelling-rs bindings: World / Rust / libspelling-rs · GitLab
Sorry, I forgot about my virtual machine with Ubuntu, so yes it’s really libspelling-1-dev
if somebody want integration example, it was really simple.
Interesting, can I remove transparency from popup?
Or it looks like that just because I’m using adwaita osd class for parent widget
Yes, it’s definitely the osd class that gets inherited by the popup.
OSDs have lots of issues (in general, not specifically with gtk), like making everything behind them hidden and inaccessible, even when scrolling down. I would personally recommend to avoid OSDs and use something like a GtkRevealer outside of the view.
Maybe some curse with this widget before I have removed app-notification class as found it is deprecated, then switched to osd and found it’s deprecated also
I won’t rewrite everything just to switch color to dark, lol, have no idea what to do next. It’s just simple widget, appended under the content Box.
UPD. can confirm, it’s really osd class issue, thanks
