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.
Rather than app, the top feature I'd say is:
Biggest complaint and why I see folks using waydroid is for banking apps.
My bank has mobile web version. I was surprised by this.
The most important ones that come to my mind:
Maps (like Google Maps, just FOSS) ideally with transportation routing for every country. This could be a lot of work and is definitely not a "small project".
Browser (like Firefox). Like 50% of everything I do happens through the browser.
File Explorer, PDF viewer, ...
maybe some puzzle games to play when bored. I don't really use much else.
Oh and a Youtube alternative would be nice, but not necessary. You can already visit some through the browser.
Firefox is available for PostmarketOS, it's almost fully usable.
The only app keeping me from throwing my Android phone to trash is Kore to share media URLs directly to Kodi on my TV.
https://github.com/rikardwissing/webextension-sendtokodi/ I think it is possible to share URL without Kore.
Thanks. Ill try that
We need Organic Maps ;(
Technically, it is already here. However, the UX of the desktop client is awkward.
