Made for elementary OS
Dippi is designed and developed on and for elementary OS. Purchasing through AppCenter directly supports the development and ensures instant updates straight from me. Get it on AppCenter for the best experience.
Flatpak versions may be made available on the Releases page, but these are intended for testing and will not get updates via Flatpak or your system's update mechanism. Versions of Dippi may have been built and made available elsewhere by third-parties; these builds may have modifications or changes and are not provided nor supported by me. The only supported version is distributed via AppCenter on elementary OS.
If you want to hack on and build Dippi yourself, you'll need the following dependencies:
- libgranite-dev
- libgtk-3-dev
- meson
- valac
Run meson build to configure the build environment and run ninja to build
meson build --prefix=/usr
ninja -C build
To run automated tests, use ninja test
ninja -C build test
To install, use ninja install, then execute with com.github.cassidyjames.dippi
ninja -C build install

- Micah Ilbery for the shiny icons
- Daniel Foré for his apps to use as code examples
