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?
Voyager works well for me
For me personally, xdrip+.
Can't switch to a Linux phone unless I can measure my blood glucose :(
IMHO we are a long way off from that being a good idea even if the app existed. I may make jokes about it but I would be terrified if my brother switched to a linux phone with his diabetes. There are just to many other issues ATM.
Flare, the gtk Signal app, needs to get to near feature parity with the mobile app. When it does, I'm all in!
Here's a very niche problem: On Android, I use an alarm clock that you can only turn off by scanning a QR code. Such an app doesn't exist on mobile linux.
that is indeed niche.... what time do you need to be up to resort to this, and what time do you go to sleep?
@tetris11 I usually go to bed at 11-12 and get up around 8-9. It's just that my subconscious mind has learnt how to turn off the alarm before I even know I'm awake.
I used to oversleep without ever remembering that I turned off the alarm.
I fixed this issue, but being an arsehole for a month.
Get a loud stereo with an alarm clock function; have it go off 1 minute after your alarm, and be really really loud.
Trust me, shocking yourself awake with a huge noise just after the little beep-beep works a treat. After a week or two, you will bolt out of bed to catch the stereo before it wakes everybody else up and pisses them off.
@absGeekNZ This sounds like it would absolutely work from a psychological perspective, but my wife would probably kill me.
It worked for me.
I haven't needed it for around 20 years.... But it is really simple
@Lofenyy do you have a list where I can check this?
Because I'm not sure of what apps are available, I haven't switched yet
