Dino: Stateless File Sharing: Async, Metadata with Thumbnails and some UI

Asynchronous programming is a neat tool, until you work with a foreign project in a foreign language using it.
As a messenger, Dino uses lots of asynchronous code, not always though.
Usually my progress wasn’t interfered by such instances, but sometimes I had to work around it.

Async in Vala

No surprises here.
Functions are annotated with async, and yield expressions that are asyn … ⌘ Read more
