I’ve also got a bunch of updates I’ll be making to Watson – the best-practices elementary OS application template – based on my experiences in building Comet as a Vala app for elementary OS.
You can follow the issues here: https://github.com/small-tech/watson/issues

Why it's important to use a real email address for your sourcehut account: I just emailed a dozen people to tell them that their CI builds are going to break with the incoming deprecation of a build image. One of their emails bounced, and they're in for a nasty surprise when their shit starts breaking next week
