* sparkly-ebuilds
this is a collection of gentoo packages you can use but i just made them
for myself

** plover
install =app-text/plover= for the open source stenography engine [[https://opensteno.org/plover/][Plover]].
it's written in python, currently targeting python 3.13, but in my
testing it also works flawlessly on 3.14.

note that the only officially supported installation method is appimage;
personally i hate appimages so that's why i made this set of packages
but do bear in mind it may have sneaky unexpected bugs. if you encounter
any bugs using this package please report them to *me* and not to the
upstream plover project unless they also occur with the appimage.

*** plugins
- the integrated Plugins Manager inside plover will not work, as it
  tries to install python modules globally which is blocked by gentoo.
  therefore you have to install them via portage. i packaged a few here
- see the category =plover-plugin= (e.g. =plover-plugin/lapwing-aio= for
  [[https://lapwing.aerick.ca/][Lapwing]] support)
- =app-text/plover2cat= for the transcription software [[https://plover2cat.readthedocs.io/][Plover2CAT]]
