The most simple and first public release of my text styling engine was recently re-coded so it works on GIMP 3
This is how my GEGL Effects plugin appeared day one on May 11 2022. It had no advance tabs or features and was incredibly simple. Back in the very early days I spend dozens of hours just playing with this and being in awe.

And of course it can co-exist with all the other versions of GEGL Effects and Styles.





This is a good filter to study if you want to make a GEGL plugin of your own. it only requires one binary. (original.so/dll) Unlike the literal original that required 5 ( I think) but this requires GEGL 0.4.50+ to work. GEGL Effects Day One Edition has a known bug where emboss at 1% will apply on the image no matter what and that bug was intentionally left to be faithful to the original plugin's functionality and flaws almost 3 years ago. The only thing I fixed were typos

I updated it to remove a CLI warning that was there since May 2022 and modified code so it would work on versions of GEGL before 0.4.50. Now it should work on GIMP 2.10 just fine. This should objectively be the fastest text styling engine ever because its literally just an emboss, a blur, two drop shadows and a color overlay. But keep in mind it completely lacks all the advance options. Go to GEGL Operations > Day One to find it. Or Search "Day One" in GIMP 3.
