	# Write.as GTK App
	A Write.as desktop app that targets all freedesktop.org compliant desktops, e.g.
	GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, etc; basically everything except Windows, Mac, iOS, and
	Android. It allows you to compose and publish posts to https://write.as/.

	For a UI toolkit it uses GTK (where some systems may slightly prefer, say, Qt),
	but do to the simplicity of the app this shouldn't be much of a problem to anyone.

	## Installation
	Write.as GTK uses the [Meson/Ninja](http://mesonbuild.com/) build system, and as such you can install it on
	any FreeDesktop.Org compatible system using:

	meson build && cd build
	ninja
	sudo ninja install

	This will install the executable file and the metadata required to integrate with
	those desktops. It also installs metadata to be collected by package repositories
	which integrate with certain package managers for richer presentation of apps.

	## Packaging
	You can package Write.as GTK for Debian/Apt-based systems by running in this
	repository's root directory:

	dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc

	This'll give you a .deb file in the parent directory.
