@tigermoth instantpho is a photo editor, not gimp level but its something to check out.
also after exam season i will be continuing development of xdg-desktop-portal backend for lomiri which will make xdg apps integrate well, my goal is to eventually have flatpak natively on ut.

Yes more support for freedesktop standards is exactly what is needed for these needs.
FTR I tested a bit using crackle to install flatpak and running it with --user, it can install quite a few flatpak apps, main problems are the virtual keyboard, file access (that's where your effort would be great) and clipboard (could be solved by the future updates for wayland...). I was able to start a game of Gnu chess and play a few moves

I was presuming it would be easy-peasy to port the desktop apps to UT.
If it was, don't you think someone would have done it?

Anyway I tried Chromium, typing issue nothing prints. Chrome is more versatile for video compatibility, or may be Firefox.
Yes well I made a pull request to correct that I hope the app maintainer will publish an update soon!

Firefox.
You can try uWolf, it's a version of libreWolf a fork of Firefox.
I think it might be a good idea to publish Firefox-esr itself in the openstore, somehow it's not the case yet.

Unsure what you wanted to correct, I hope it's not to publish Chrome on the Ubuntu Touch store, Google may object to that

No the fact that you cannot input passwords with the keyboard on Chromium for UT

@pparent There is already an up to date Firefox click. But the author is aiming for better clipboard and contenthub integration before releasing it to the open store. Also there's the issue of permission from Mozilla for using the name and trademarked graphics.

Yes I know abut uFirefox.
Distributions like Mobian, or postmarketOS, don't seem to bother much about trademark concerns, in this situation.
-
@pparent good point. I wonder how that is arranged.
