Awesome Libadwaita

A list of lesser known resources, language bindings and frameworks around GNOME's libadwaita and GTK.

Motivation

While I was looking around for language bindings for the Swift programming language, I discovered, that there are a lot of niche libraries, and resources around GNOME development.

I hope to provide a collection of links, so others do not have to search as much.
