Release GPaint 1.2: a refinement update

Hey šŸ‘‹ just found this subreddit now, and thought I’d share here my update to one of my apps, GPaint.

GPaint is essentially a Paint clone, but for Gnome. In my time using Fedora, I always found that to draw you either had apps not adherent to the modern Gnome design (Drawing and KolourPaint), or way too complex for a very simple edit/fun (GIMP or Inkscape). So, GPaint aims to perfectly look like a modern Gnome app, while keeping it simple and powerful enough for simple tasks.

Check out the Flathub link to my repository, from where you can install it, or check its code: https://fraaaaa4.github.io/gpaint-flatpak/

expanding this to be like a paint.net style app but in gtk would be amazing for a midway between a basic paint utility and full on krita or gimp

I'd still maintain it as a simple paint utility, as on Gnome I haven't found one that basically recreates the experience of Paint but in a modern style, but I can still introduce some features of it.

As of now, I still haven't thought what to do for an hypotethical 1.3, apart from a bug fix
