Could you add a segment to the 'show' where you give an example of how to get things done on UT?

I think many people need to figure out ways to work in UT since it is quite different from android but many of these ideas don't make their way to the 'general UT public'.

For example, there was a discussion about getting uwolf or firefox to sync passwords. This is a great alternative to the non-functioning password manager apps and makes life a lot easier.
Or maybe demo how to use ghostcloud.

I think these 'FYI' segments can help ease the transition for many people.

@RJDan I think here's were the 'general UT public', also known as the community, could get involved. The presenters can't be expected to know everything. So if a community member, like yourself, has a useful, cool, or otherwise interesting workflow to solve a particular problem or meet a particular need, they could send in a video demoing the workflow and it could be shown during the proposed segment.

For newcomers like myself, could you share tips on best practices with browsers in UT for beginners?

I have discovered the Webber application, but several sites I normally use, including music streaming and my own Nextcloud server page, don't work or give warnings of being out-of-date.

@theprivacydad Currently Morph browser is "out to date". Fortunately, an update is planned for the first quarter of 2026 : https://ubports.com/lomiri-roadmap

@libremax Thanks. I have just learned about Libertine and am downloading that. Taking a while!

@arubislander if I ever get so proficient with UT I will definitly contribute. Right now I am still learning.

@RJDan Which is exactly the right time to make such a contribution. Discovering something as a new user and sharing that discovery, while probably not news to long time users, will be exactly what other new users would find helpful.
