    Trivial examples of Gtk+ apps seem to be legion but to find a decent tutorial that works its way through a moderately complex and usable app seem to be scarce. In particular I haven't found a decent example of using the GTKBuilder class and complete documentation of the XML properties seems almost nonexistent.

    Aside from that, instead of writing a GNOME app in C, isn't Vala or GJS the preferred language now?

      I wanted to try and follow this blog, but write the app in Vala and I haven't figured out how to use gtk4 with meson yet. I personally want to build a nautilus extension, but that seems very far off considering the sorry state of their documentation.
