With the advent of Wayland Gnome-Pie will slowly die. OpenPie is my new concept for bringing (pie-) menus to the Linux desktop. In this post I will give a motivation and describe the planned software architecture.

It’s been a while since my last post. But since I’m planning to release new updates for Gnome-Pie, I decided to create a new homepage! It is now hosted on github pages and built with jekyll. I ported some of the old wordpress posts and managed to import all your comments to disqus.

Bachelor thesis!

And finally it’s done. After some months of hard work I’m now a Bachelor of Science! I passed with distinction and since many of you helped me by sending in your usage statistics of Gnome-Pie, I owe you many THANKS and a summary of what I achieved. You may just read the abstract and look at the pictures, graphs and videos to get a glimpse of the results or (if you’re brave and greedy for knowledge) you may read the entire summary.
