I agree with you. Services and filters is very powerful concept.
BTW: I didn't expect it to work so well.
It just shows the quality of GNUstep framework!
I find it amazing how well it works considering this is not something
that many apps really leverage today.
This might be one of the reasons to keep me motivated.
So much talent and hard work went into GNUstep over the years, let's
finally use it as intended.

Wow, looks great and seems like a really impressive work! I admire
how you
base it on services one of the most undervalued features in GNUstep.
One question though: Would it be possible to merge back the forked
applications (Addresses and BatMon) to GAP? If you two need a tie
breaker to
decide on which version to use, I am willing to volunteer.
Cheers

Hi everyone,
I'd like to announce GNUstep Desktop.
https://onflapp.github.io/gs-desktop/index.html
I have been working on it for more than a year now and it is finally
complete enough to be my main desktop environment.
It is perfect for my Raspberry PI! :-)
GSDE contains many GNUstep apps and frameworks in one place.
Enhanced, fixed, configured and integrated so that everything works
together seamlessly.
Notable enhancements:
- StepTalk - used for system scripting, fixes and
enhancements to the API

and
link panels

pages
- WrapperFactory - greatly enhanced, support for filters and services
- Terminal - a lot of improvements, refactored into
Kit,
scriptable
- Preferences - taken from NEXTSPACE + additional settings
for
timezone, keys, themes
- WindowMaker - make tweaks and fixes to fit with GNUstep
New applications:
- WebBrowser - Google Chrome with GNUstep UI, scriptable
- VimGS - Vim with GNUstep UI (using TerminalKit),
scriptable
- Player - VLC with GNUstep UI, scriptable
- DocViewer - PDF and HTML document viewer, filters for
additional
formats (e.g. markdown), scriptable
- ImageViewer - filter for additional formats, scriptable
- RemoteView - VNCViewer

Spending weeks and months deep in GNUstep and all those apps created
with
it,
made me really appreciate all the amazing work that went into it.
I hope that GNUstep Desktop will help to renew the interest in
GNUstep as
desktop.
