Installing

I did this ages ago, so I don't really remember.

Install gnome-common (and autotools, etc.)
Install the python3-arrow and python3-markdown
Install the sassc (from your package manager)

Then you can just install it like any usual program.

Download the source code (eg. git clone https://github.com/samdroid-apps/something-for-reddit; cd something-for-reddit)
./autogen.sh
make
sudo make install

There is a .desktop file, but it is also reddit-is-gtk command

Please report the bugs or deficiencies that you find via Github Issues.

Development

A development shell using Nix is provided in dev-shell.nix. You can run it with the following command:

nix-shell dev-shell.nix

This will include instructions to run the app.

Flatpak

You can build the flatpak with the following commands:

flatpak-builder build-dir today.sam.reddit-is-gtk.json --force-clean --install

To build the from the local copy of your source, use change the sources option in the flatpak to as follows:

      "sources": [
        {
          "type": "dir",
          "path": ".",
          "skip": [
            "__build_prefix",
            ".flatpak-builder",
            "flatpak-repo"
          ]
        }
      ]
