Wish list : which apps do you need?

[cliffcoggin]

@stanwood Please forgive the public message, I can not see how to send a private one. Do you use your UT phone for navigation off road?

@cliffcoggin
To complete and close the OT this is how to do it.

You click on the user's icon to see their profile.
There you click on the blue icon with 3 vertical dots.
In the menu choose the first (I think) entry that says "Start to chat with XXX"

That should do the trick.

[stanwood]

@cliffcoggin Yes I guess so (?) Using PureMaps

[davedanger]

Freetube would be pretty cool

The Open Store desperately needs a good American sports app

What would such an app do? People here probably don't know that.

For the record, we don't have anymore a working photo/image editing tool, as InstantPho bugs since OTA-16/QT5.12, and @dobey needs any help for fixing it : https://gitlab.com/dobey/instantpho/-/issues/6#note_623148174

This is the first time I've seen this sentence!

It's more like: Dobey's help is urgently needed to fix...

@domubpkm
:face_with_tears_of_joy:
But I'm sure he has a lot on his plate so a little help won't hurt.

[Keneda]

@domubpkm
I think it's like @AppLee said, lot of work for the core OS to do, so extra help is welcome ^^

@moem The regular ESPN CBS Sports Fox Sports, but after I wrote this I remembered the Webber App does a pretty job with more simple apps like these.

Video chat would be great, heck since it can run native C++, it might be able to do really performant video chat compared to Java based solutions, what would be really awesome would be some l33t h4x0rs reverse engineering the other video chat protocols and making a OSS client that's compatible with the other major clients, like apple video chat and google video chat and microsoft video chat and zoom video chat and uh, whatsapp video chat, etc. Then you have like one app with notifications that can just handle all the other video apps and connect to them and their protocols, like how Pidgin used to do instant messaging with all the other IM clients back in the day.

Gramps! The geneaology program would be useful. But maybe it works already with libertine?

[TomRausner]

A streaming app capable of connecting to several streaming services (spotify, icecast, podcast services, etc.) would be very nice.

Also a browser capable of connecting to sites craving high security (bank service, et all) will be highly appreciated.

[suoko]

Webgl, definetely.
It would open the door to all scratch (and any other html5) apps and games

[Prometheus]

Request LinPhone (VOIP) App for UBports on Pixel 3a XL. Presently unable to even install via open-store.io or openstore app.

[skajmer]

Gadgetbridge or alternative (I have a Mi Band 4 currently connected to my old phone)

[TomRausner]

A way to import contacts from everywhere, gmail, SIM card, you name it -that works...

[domubpkm]

Just a reminder in case a developer would like to test his advanced knowledge and would like to help @dobey make this fundamental app InstantPho operational again. Thanks.

check out Memo for the to do list.

for dark mode, I have some commmands that can be run, if we can get a sudo access type of app, I started trying to make this:

but having problems getting qprocess to use sudo, and not really the best way to do this, but if someone wants to help:

        Button {
            id: button2
            objectName: "button"
            color: UbuntuColors.green
            anchors {
                horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter
                top: button.bottom
                topMargin: units.gu(2)
           }
            width: parent.width

            text: i18n.tr("disable amplified volume")

            onClicked: {
            var popup = PopupUtils.open(passwordPopup)
              popup.accepted.connect(function(password) {

qprocess.start("bash", [ "-c echo" + password + " | sudo -S mirbacklight 0"])

              }) `

also have a way to get the lowest possible screen brightness - both run in a safe way that resets when you lock/unlock the screen
