Today I released version 0.7.5 of s, a terminal tool that opens web searches in your browser. No flashy new features, just the kind of maintenance work that keeps open source projects alive.

A few months ago, Dream Prompter launched as a GIMP plugin for AI-powered image generation and editing, supporting just one model: Google’s Nano Banana. Version 1.2.0 brings the total to nine. Here’s what changed and how it all came together.

I spend a lot of time on the computer, using a lot of software. This makes me acutely aware when things don’t quite work right. A button that renders incorrectly. Inconsistent padding. Unthemed dialogs. Even the best themes out there had small bugs that annoyed me. I care deeply about a smooth, consistent desktop experience.

I’ll be honest - I’d never written a GIMP plugin before. I’m also fairly new to Python, having only dabbled with a few small projects. While I’ve been doing development for decades, this was uncharted territory for me. So when I decided to bring Google’s new Gemini 2.5 Flash Image Preview model (nicknamed “Nano Banana”) directly into GIMP, I knew I’d need some help. Enter Claude, to help me fill in the missing knowledge gaps.

When Plank first emerged, it promised to be the simplest dock on the planet. Today, Plank Reloaded carries that torch forward, bringing modern updates and solid Cinnamon desktop support while maintaining that same commitment to simplicity.
