I released 2 new versions[1] (v0.5.0 and v0.5.1) of my #xiaolongdictionary language/vocabulary learning software today, with new features and improvements.
One new feature is, that one can now plot progress and daily training of words for any search result, as well as result of saved search.
Another is the main window status bar.
An accessibility improvement is behavior of tabbing through widgets in the main window.

Add buttons to a row container made with tkinter in Python

A handy trick that's already part of tkinter.
I added a new data visualization to my language learning tool. As one can see, I am a bit below my goal for words trained per day.[1]
Also I reworked the tag list widget, so that one can (un)select tags and undo that, before confirming changes when bulk editing tags.[2] The tags are now so called check buttons (checkboxes in browser UI speak). I am using their inherent state of being (un)selected.
I'll probably make a new release soon.

I also noticed, that #tkinter has some issues with allocating the correct height or space for text depending on the screen resolution. On my FHD screens all looks good, but on a screen with higher resolution the tag widgets look bad, and almost cannot be closed/removed properly from the tag list widget by clicking their little "x" button. Will need to find another layout for the tag widget, that circumvents this issue. This kind of thing might be the first shortcoming of tkinter I have noticed.
Found a silly bug in my language learning tool, that I introduced in a previous change and release. The bug caused the global search to act like a refining search. Now fixed in release v0.4.2 [1].

I like the possibility to "tear off" a menu in #tkinter. I think I have not seen that in any other GUI framework yet.
I built a new release of my language learning tool #xiaolongdictionary [1].
New in this release: Saved searches. Perform any complex search and save it, to re-run the same search later. If the vocabulary changes in the meantime, the search result also potentially changes.
(For saving resulting vocabulary, I plan to add a "save search result" functionality later.)

Window Manager: #BSPWM
Operating System: #Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS
Programming Language: #Python 3.12
This is another one of my latest #Tkinter applications, uploaded to GitHub as "novaWebCal" and supporting different month- and year-based calendars.

Operating System: #Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS
Programming Language: #Python 3.12
This is one of my latest #Tkinter applications, known simply as "Toolkit" but to be uploaded to GitHub as "novaToolkit" eventually.
This application utilizes the theme and styling features of `tkinter.ttk` up to a point, and not on the text and scrolled text windows in any way.
Hype for the Future 80/284: Topics for the YouTube Channel
Introduction On this Monday, January 19, 2026, novaTopFlex is slated to return to GitHub after a relatively long hiatus and create new repositories for educational, documentary, scientific, and artistic purposes in all counts of the concept and context. Topics The first new feature shall be a link applet using the Tkinter graphical toolkit. The application will be presented to both GitHub and YouTube, with more complex setups coming soon using the Tkinter applet and related applets. The […]New idea for my language learning tool: Saved searches! I think I got the idea from #thunderbird, where one can save searches as virtual folders, which when clicked perform the same search again across all selected folders locally or remotely, as configured.
In my tool it will merely filter local vocabulary. This is also good preparation for doing things like showing the last search result of a previous session.

I improved the reflow further, by debouncing unnecessary configure events and only reflowing at most every `x` milliseconds, where `x` can be passed to the constructor. Currently for the tag list widget, the reflowing is set to happen with a debounce of 50ms.

Today I released version `0.3` of my language learning tool "Xiaolong Dictionary" [1].
New features include:
(1) context menu with basic text editing functionality for the custom text entry widget
(2) context menu for the vocabulary treeview, from which one can (3) copy treeview content of selected words, (4) open a window for bulk editing tags of words, and (5) open a window displaying attributes of words
