## Historique du projet et usages

Libhandy is Purism and GNOME's GTK 3 widget library for adaptive applications, especially interfaces that need to work on both desktop windows and phone-sized screens. It is historically important because it bridged Librem 5 mobile work, mainstream GNOME applications, and the later GTK 4-era libadwaita direction.

### Historique du projet

Purism's June 10, 2021 retrospective says Libhandy was created after experiments with mobile-specific and adaptive widgets showed that GTK developers needed a library they could include without modifying GTK itself. The name reflects Handy, the German word for a mobile phone, and the upstream README states the library's aim as helping develop mobile-device UI using GTK/GNOME.

The NEWS file records version 0.81.0 migrating the project to GNOME GitLab, archiving the previous source.puri.sm project, switching CI to GNOME infrastructure, and publishing reference documentation through GNOME GitLab Pages. The same release made documentation and Glade catalog installation parallel-installable with libhandy 0.0, a packaging-friendly move during API transition.

### Historique d'adoption

Libhandy began as part of Purism's Librem 5 effort, but Purism described it as quickly gaining popularity among GNOME application developers and being used by both third-party GNOME apps and core apps such as Settings, Files, and Web. It became an unofficial high-level widget layer above GTK before the GTK 4 work was redirected into libadwaita.

The batch input lists packages for Homebrew, Fedora, MacPorts, Nix, Arch, Ubuntu, and openSUSE, showing that Libhandy's adaptive-widget role crossed from phone-oriented development into general distribution packaging.

### Modes d'utilisation

Developers use Libhandy to add adaptive GTK 3 widgets such as leaflet, carousel, view switcher, preferences, deck, flap, keypad, and other interface pieces. The handy-1-demo executable is the package-level demonstration surface for trying those widgets.

### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

Libhandy is a rare dependency whose history explains a platform transition: it made GNOME-on-phone work practical without forking the desktop ecosystem, then informed libadwaita as GTK 4 arrived. For package maintainers, it is also a compatibility library for GTK 3 applications that adopted adaptive GNOME UI patterns before moving to libadwaita.

### Chronologie

- 2018: Purism and GNOME contributors were actively using Libhandy widgets for adaptive Librem 5 application work.
- Version 0.81.0: The project migrated to GNOME GitLab and started publishing reference documentation with GNOME GitLab Pages.
- Version 1.0.0: The NEWS file marked the 1.0 API line with no extra release-note changes.
- 2021-06-10: Purism described Libhandy's creation, GNOME adoption, and its relationship to libadwaita.

### Related projects

- GTK 3 is the toolkit targeted by Libhandy.
- GNOME applications such as Settings, Files, and Web are named by Purism as adopters of Libhandy-style adaptive UI work.
- libadwaita is the GTK 4-era successor direction described by Purism for GNOME's high-level adaptive widgets.
- The Librem 5 and Phosh ecosystem supplied much of the original mobile GNOME pressure that made Libhandy useful.
