The only regression I noticed is that Min (the Chromium browser hatched by @pparent) crashes as soon as I try to enter an URL (the OSK displays but Min disappears and only the 'X' icon stays in the launcher

Yes I know I need to make a new realease to fix that, I will do that next week. It concerns also Rocket.chat. I will make a new release next week, so that those 2 apps work with 24.04-1.3 .

This is linked to this bug: https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/core/lomiri/-/work_items/177#note_3172037315

But I implement a workaround inside my apps.

@domubpkm

I will soon try to write a workaround script, but when I have time.

Ps: An imporant feature for me would be to be able to enable/disable notifications globally. Because right now if I don't want to get Whatsapp notification, it is a problem if I have greeline installed.

Ps2 : I see that Whatsapp recognizes greeline as an Android client, not a Whatsapp web client.

@brenno.almeida

So I've tested the app! I think it is great!

There are great features that whatsnew does not have and probably will not have anytime soon: notifications when the app is closed, the possibility to consult messages online, the app is way more fluid and has a "native app" feeling that whatsnew does not have (Although some conversations take time to load in greenline), and it starts up incredibly fast.

There are also features that are lacking in comparaison to whatsnew (like calls, sending and reading audio messages, editing messages, deleting messages, transferring messages, archived conversations, polls, and I guess a lot of advanced features that whatsapp web has )

I think the two are complementary. Also I think it's always good to have two alternatives, because both of them can break at any moment when Whatsapp make changes, so it's good to have two of them.

I hope to see it soon in the openstore, I will mention your app in my upcoming video!

Thank you very much for your work!

Here is what looks like a new prototype:

@XPran

Great!

Although note that I see you have selected "24.04-1.x daily" which is a development version, it's more recommended to install "24.04-1.x stable". It's a known issue that the installer proposes you the first option.

Enjoy

Ps: If you're still looking for a whatsapp solution, you can try my app "Whatsnew" from the openstore.

@projectmoon

Yes!

Use the latest script from my PR:

https://gitlab.com/pparent/lxc-android-config/-/blob/main/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/99captive_portal?ref_type=heads

Make sure to make it executable (chmod +x) and reboot before testing

I've made a pull request here:

https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/core/hybris-support/lxc-android-config/-/merge_requests/184

@brenno.almeida

Thank's I will test the app in details, this week when I have time.

This week, I will also make a youtube video on my canal to present Whatsnew, I will mention your work as one of the (upcoming) alternative for Whatsapp.

Thank you!

Hello,

Did anyone get any reply from contact@france-identite.gouv.fr ?

I am thinking it should be studied the possibility of filing a complaint with the "Defenseur des droits", because I think there are various things about that app that probably do not respect the legislation, given that it is only available for Google and Apple.

Any thought on that?

Have you seen the secret-tool package? It's similar to using GNOME keyring.

Though it is to be noted that a porblem we have currently with App-armour profiles, is that it won't let you communicate with the keyring in DBus via the api libsecret. It is a problem for browsers like "Chromium for UT" or "Min Browser" that get non-functional password manager because of that.

@brenno.almeida

Ok so another confined app does not have permission to access your messages and data, via this Unix socket?

@brenno.almeida

I have a question, given that 3 have 3 separate parts to your app ( Go, Python and QML), did you ensure the security of communication between them? How is it enforced that no other app, or process will be able to access the Whatsapp private data?

For example you say that the Go module exposes a JSON RPC endpoint, but are there security measures to make sure that this endpoint can be accesed only by your app, and no other app or process?

Thank's a lot for your work!

i knew soon as they bought it it would go to crap

Microsoft did not buy git, they bought github which is not the same thing at all. Github is just one of the many existing "web interface" for git. By the way the Ubports fondation is in partnership with "Gitlab" which is the direct competitor of "Github".

@developerbayman

Concerning uplaoding images, if you have a computer, you can connect your phone in USB, copy the screenshots from your phone, and upload them here from your computer browser. It should work.

so like in the grand scheme of things i missed the launch boat of github ....then when i did learn about it i found it confusing ..

Just for the record, git existed way before github (It's a software from Linus Torvalds ). You can use git without using any online service. If you don't like github, which is understandable, there are a myriad of others suppliers that allow you to publish a git repo online, or you can even self-host one (for example by hosting your own gitlab instance).

It's just that it allows way better collaboration, and to follow the evolution of the software and the source code (versioning). With google drive we have no way to understand when a source file has been changed, what had been changed, why has it been changed, and in what realese of the software. There is no easy way for someone to propose you a modification of the code.

So I really think it might be worth that you give it another try, if you want to work on open-source projets, because it will allow for a better collaboration with others, and get more feedback!

Ps: personally I'm not a gamer at all! I will see if I can test the application a bit later, but I won't be able to give you a gamer feedback.

@developerbayman

Just one question: Any reason you don't host this project on a git platform, like "Github" or "Gitlab" or "Bitbucket" ? Maybe having to go to google drive links may look a bit weird for some people.

Maybe it could help also to publish more screenshots, or even better a video of your application running on Ubuntu Touch.

Also I'm sure you will get feedback when you publish the app on the openstore, but it might not be ready yet?

Thank you!

@messayisto

It's not that there is only "system", it is that the combobox, ( or "<select>" in html ) does not work. i.e the element that allows you to chose, does not display well, but it is sadly the case in most XWayland apps, in UT and I can't do much about it right now.

@messayisto

What do you mean "change the appearence"? It simply means that you can display and navigate properly in the menu in vertical mode, as shown in the screenshot.

The combobox still do not work, it is a problem with XWayland and Lomiri.

I've published version 0.8.3-2 with the following improvements.

• Make the left menu responsive
• Fix a problem with uploading a document other than image (contentHub)

Note: no Signal-Desktop version bump for this revision, because building broke with my current scripts for 8.4.0 and 8.5.0, I'll have to look into it later.

Don't hesitate to tell me if everything works well for you.
