Dippi 4 was designed and developed on and for GNOME. As such, contributors agree to abide by the GNOME Code of Conduct.
Important
Dippi is on Flathub! 🎉️ Get the latest version with a refreshed design from Flathub.
If you're on elementary OS, the AppCenter version is no longer maintained or receiving updates. Install from Flathub to get the latest design and future updates.
Dippi is a GNOME app built using Vala and GTK, designed to be distributed via Flatpak. It strives to follow the modern GNOME HIG using libadwaita.
If you want to hack on and build Dippi yourself, I recommend using GNOME Builder. Clone the repository, then just* hit run!
*If you're hitting issues, try "Update project dependencies" in the top-center build menu to ensure you have the SDK installed.
To build from the CLI, use flatpak-builder. Since Dippi targets distribution via Flathub, the Flathub docs may be useful.
