Hey everyone, I’m going insane due to a lack of creative project. I’ve written an app already but I haven’t gotten around to publishing it yet. I’d like to know what kind of apps you’d like to see created for mobile Linux. I prefer easier, bite-sized projects over particularly large ones, but I’d love to hear your ideas nevertheless.
A mobile first Lemmy app?
For me personally, xdrip+.
Can’t switch to a Linux phone unless I can measure my blood glucose :(
Banking apps
There’s Saldo: https://flathub.org/apps/org.tabos.saldo
A couple of months ago I created some mockups for Linux mobile apps. Maybe you find them inspiring: https://feddit.org/post/271755
A couple of notes on the my old post:
Unfortunately murena suffered an outage recently and some of their services are not yet online again, including the recepie one. So should you choose to take up that project, you would have to find (or host) a different instance.
Flare, the gtk Signal app, needs to get to near feature parity with the mobile app. When it does, I’m all in!
I believe they’re working on it. :)
It uses a library which currently gets calls added, for example. Once that library supports calls, they can add it for Flare.
I’ve been waiting for years now.
What phones or such are y’all using for such a positive experience?
Had pinephone at the start of last year and it was most miserable time I had with a phone in years.Yeah, because it’s a Pinephone. It’s an underpowered set top box SoC from around a decade ago. Definitely try something else. :)
Could you make some helpful suggestions for alternatives perhaps?
Most of them.
