Updated Instructions for App Building

@bpteague Has an excellent update solution as of February 2025 using modern tools and an updated workflow.

This gist will remain here, but is deprecated. I'll keep it here historical and link-preservation purposes only. I strongly encourage everyone to check out the solution above!

Setup

Create a developer account with Apple
- https://developer.apple.com and shell out $99 for a developer account
Download and install X-Code from the Apple App Store

Think twice before abandoning Xorg. Wayland breaks everything!

Hence, if you are interested in existing applications to "just work" without the need for adjustments, then you may be better off avoiding Wayland.

Wayland solves no issues I have but breaks almost everything I need. Even the most basic, most simple things (like xkill) - in this case with no obvious replacement. And usually it stays broken, because the Wayland folks mostly seem to care about Automotive, Gnome, maybe KDE - and alienating everyone else (e.g., people using just an X11 window manager or something like GNUstep) in the process.

As 2024 is winding down:

rclone systemd service

Preparation

This service will use the same remote name you specified when using rclone config create. If you haven't done that yet, do so now.

Next, create the mountpoint for your remote. The service uses the location ~/mnt/<remote> by default.

mkdir ~/mnt/dropbox

Spoiler warning

Spoiler text. Note that it's important to have a space after the summary tag. You should be able to write any markdown you want inside the <details> tag... just make sure you close <details> afterward.

console.log("I'm a code block!");

	# Generate a new pgp key: (better to use gpg2 instead of gpg in all below commands)
	gpg --gen-key
	# maybe you need some random work in your OS to generate a key. so run this command: `find ./* /home/username -type d \| xargs grep some_random_string > /dev/null`

	# check current keys:
	gpg --list-secret-keys --keyid-format LONG

	# See your gpg public key:
	gpg --armor --export YOUR_KEY_ID
	# YOUR_KEY_ID is the hash in front of `sec` in previous command. (for example sec 4096R/234FAA343232333 => key id is: 234FAA343232333)
