  @dobey said in App Design Concept: But why are they split this way in the first place? And why do I need them to be there at all? That's clear, no one can use a phone with one hand, so I propose that the action buttons are on the left side, if someone wants to use only one hand, it is not mandatory to use the left hand you can use the right hand if you want, there is not a meter distance to change in excess if you use both hands, the submenus that I have put on the left side, could also be placed in the center of the screen, so that using the right or left hand would not affect you, some app put it to the right and others to the left, I think it does not look good , put the icon on the right side is by symmetry in the top bar, if you think it does not look good, it is removed from that position, I particularly like to see it. greetings...

  @nanu-c I'm at Purism and have been seeking devs / interest in Signal for our Librem 5 (in the PureOS environment, not Ubuntu Touch). Had a few conversations with OWS/Moxie as well. I knew about this app but development seemed stalled... but it looks like it has a shot in the arm now :D Can we chat about ways that we may be able to support you to get this running in PureOS on the Librem 5? Drop me a line sean.obrien@puri.sm if so.

  I bet you saw this post https://github.com/Halium/projectmanagement/issues/62#issuecomment-391226918 I got one question though: following the guide on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices/i9505 you find a link to a rom that includes the boot.img only and it doesn't work, obviously. Do you know of any old but working ubuntu touch rom for the s4? Edit: If you're writing down what you're doing I can try do the same to speed up the porting.

  Hello translators! It's been a while since I could say this, but translations of the UBports Documentation are updating again. You can find all the details at UBports Docs in Weblate. The documentation is much more intense than most translation. Whole paragraphs are presented to translate at once and a single change to any word will invalidate all previous work. Also, Sphinx does not strip out its formatting when creating the translation files. Please be careful while translating the documentation and never remove formatting characters, such as: ` <> _

  @doniks said in 2019: Time to make Unity8 great again?: Wouldn't it then be more logical to have a greeter that is a wayland client? Or maybe the login managers from some other desktop environment could be used. Curious what you think. The Canonical design was for unity-system-compositor [USC] to be a system wide Mir server that supported both the greeter and login session based shells. Only USC would interact with the hardware, it would see the greeter and session shells as Mir clients. The session shells would use the mirclient API (a.k.a. "Mir-on-Mir") but that requires "Mir EGL" and is no longer possible. This architecture has a number of desirable features: only one system-wide task has to negotiate access to the hardware, and that task also controls transitions between user sessions, login screens and lock screens. Once Mir has a Mir-on-Wayland platform it will be possible to retain that architecture and use Wayland instead of the mirclient API.

  @UmaGellan , i believe there are other projects in that sense like the Party or Twitter Photo Booth, popular in Company conferences recently. Also Web Panels could be interesting.

  @libremax , this is great, thanks for sharing here! I set subtitles to English and it was quite good. This is a great quick history and status overview of both Sailfish and UBPorts.
