Hello everyone,

several months ago we <https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/C0BJ0GTE2/p1682255739080579|announced here> our Kotlin Native GTK bindings project: gtk-kn. The project is dedicated to providing Kotlin Native bindings for GTK, its dependencies, and additional GObject-based libraries. We've made considerable progress, enabling basic UI creation, signal handling, resource file loading, and more. However, we've hit a roadblock as our main maintainer has had to step back.

We're at a point where your help could make a significant difference in keeping this project alive.

If you are interested, here's a glimpse of what we've accomplished so far:

• Example of generated bindings: <https://gitlab.com/gtk-kn/gtk-kn/-/blob/master/bindings/gtk/gtk4/src/nativeMain/kotlin/org/gtkkn/bindings/gtk/Window.kt?ref_type=heads|Link>
• Project documentation: <https://gtk-kn.org/|gtk-kn.org>
• GTK samples for experimentation: <https://gitlab.com/gtk-kn/gtk-kn/-/tree/master/samples/gtk?ref_type=heads|Link>
The bindings are generated using GIR (GObject Introspection Repository), leveraging its power to ensure accuracy and completeness.

If you're experienced with Kotlin Native or skilled in GTK/GObject development, we could really use your help.

<@U0BB18DK2> since you already worked on GTK bindings for K/N I would really love to hear what you think of this project.
