Hello everyone! I wanted to give a quick update on what's been going on in some of our core apps and developer docs recently.

• Calculator
  • Updated the math.js library to fix issues with decimals
  • Moved the code to GitLab for automated deploys to the OpenStore
• Music
  • The swipe animation between tracks in the now play view has been updated
  • The music app is now available on the OpenStore!
  • Moved code to GitLab for automated deploys to the OpenStore
• Weather
  • Currently working on getting an api key from OpenWeatherMap so we don't need to rely on the current key
• Gallery
  • New "Info" panel for media file details
  • Other minor improvements and translation updates

In general news we are slowly moving the core apps over to GitLab. We are going to setup each core app that is a click to be automatically compiled with Clickable and deployed to the OpenStore. If you're interested in setting up your own app with automated deploys to the OpenStore check out the Clickable docs.

The docs have seen some improvements thanks to some new guides by @CiberSheep. There are now guides on Content Hub export and Content Hub import & Url Dispatcher. If you are willing and able to contribute a guide or an example app you can find a full list of things we want to create over at the Development Resources GitLab project.

Thanks to all the hard work of our Core App developers/contributors, all the great translators, and our documentation writers!

Hello everyone! I just wanted to apologize for the mishap with the weather app this week. We got an api key for OpenWeatherMap for UBports and I published an update to the Weather app without realizing there should also be a Weather Channel api key. I recently pushed an update that removes the Weather Channel option and also removes the issues users were facing by moving them to the OpenWeatherMap provider. Unfortunately we won't be reactivating the Weather Channel/Weather Underground data provider since it seems they are shutting down their api in favor of a business focused IBM provider and they are no longer offering free api access and their data seems to have restrictions for some countries. For now we will keep with just OpenWeatherMap but we will look into other options like DarkSky, etc.

Hello fellow developers!

The UBports App Dev Steering committee has recently started efforts to improve the app developer documentation. The improvements are not just geared at onboarding new developers, but they are also for experienced developers. The first step in this long journey was the publishing of a revamped app dev page in the UBports docs. But there are several holes in it still! We've identified several areas where a tutorial would be useful and created a project in GitLab to track them. If you are interested in creating documentation/tutorials check out the project on GitLab and/or join our UBAD Discussion Group on matrix.

We want to make Ubuntu Touch the best development platform out there! We appreciate your help and support!

Another year just ended and continuing last year's trend here are some fun stats from the OpenStore. Ubuntu Touch is still alive and growing!

I've been working on this for a bit, but I wanted to release an early version of a possible Dash replacement. You can find it for download on the OpenStore. It's a bit more of a traditional home screen, but that's where the your feedback comes in. What do you think of this possibly being the default on your phone? Nothing official has been decided, this is just an experiment that I've been working on.

When taking a look keep in mind that's is pretty early stage. Although it already has support for the same icon packs that Falcon uses (props to @CiberSheep for those!). I hope you enjoy it and please leave any feedback/discussion here!

Hey friends! I've been working on a new version of the OpenStore website and I would love to get some feedback and testing on it. It should be more-or-less feature complete with the old website at this point. You can find the new site here: https://next.open-store.io/

If you find any issues or have feedback, feel free to use the GitLab Issues to report it.

Thank you all in advance!

@messayisto Thanks for letting me know! I agree with @MrT10001 that the app should be sufficient, but it is hard to justify launching the new site if it doesn't work on Ubuntu Touch

I got an early start on this and the maintenance is now over. It was a very painless Ubuntu upgrade

Reminder: This will be happening later today (in my timezone). As long as I don't forget, I'll post an update here when it has been completed.

Hello all! The OpenStore server will be going down for maintenance April 18th around 2 UTC. I'll be upgrading the OS. As long as all goes well it shouldn't be down for very long.

@Schlicki2808 those apps that appear on the home page of the OpenStore are manually chosen which is why you might not see all apps that you would expect.

Happy new year everyone! I have the latest round of stats pulled from the OpenStore for your enjoyment. I don't think there is anything crazy in there since last year, but it still shows steady growth.

Also, while I have your attention I invite you to check out the preview for the next iteration of the OpenStore's website: https://next.open-store.io/ . If you run into any issues or have any suggestions I invite you to report them over on GitLab.

There currently isn't a way to share an app with multiple users. However, you can have a shared account or setup CI to automatically publish changes (for example, see my blog post).

@UltrasonicNoise I went ahead and removed the clicks from prang.ultrasonicmadness. Let me know if you need any more help!
