Description
GNOME is known for its polished user experience, but achieving that level of refinement requires enormous effort. The difference in user experience between software that works and software that works really well is huge — and so is the effort needed to get there.
I learned this firsthand when I built my first GNOME Shell extension. Getting it to work took a day, while reaching an acceptable level of polish took months. What took so long? What tiny details consumed most of my time? And was all that polishing worth it?
Join me as I share my journey, the unexpected challenges I faced, and what this means for anyone who wants to build high-quality software.
