Haystack is a small GNOME application for editing OpenQA needles. A needle is a screenshot on which areas have been marked that must match with the output of a system under test in OpenQA.
The application works on a local needles repository. You open the repository folder, select a needle to edit, and start drawing. You can also change the screenshot, either from a local file, or copy-pasting one from elsewhere (for example a failed test in OpenQA).
For any feedback, questions or general issues, please file an issue on the GitLab page.
