A quick trial of using the MOTIS geocoding endpoint (via Transitous) in Maps. Still lacking the mapping from place types to appropriate icon for general places (mapping from the icon name provided by MOTIS to a “major” OSM key/value). But for public transit […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]

Came up with a quite convoluted way to do a git bisect. To pinpoint a performance regression trying to bisect GJS. First attempt trying to "overlay" GJS as a "git" source dependency in the Flatpak manifest. But this didn't work out because of some issue with a git submodule. Then came up with […]

Just a heads-up for those doing development on Maps (e.g. running from within GNOME Builder), or running the nightly Flatpak release. Currently there is a regression in GJS preventing applications launching Gio.Application using runAsync(). gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gjs/-/work_i… […]
