i hope it will help you build a healthy income while we enjoy your content
Thank you!
I just want to mention that currently I don't expect it to be more, than at best a side income, for now! But the most important for me, for now is really to test the concept to see if it can be an efficient way to fund open-source projects, and allow the community to have more influence on the development! 
Hello everyone!
Today, I would like to introduce a new concept: Fund My App.
https://fund-my-app.com/ will now be the official donation link for all my apps on the Openstore. But it is much more than a simple donation page.
Fund My App allows you to fund the features you really need. Instead of donating for past development, you can support upcoming features, the apps to come, and the future development! It gives you a real opportunity to influence the future of your apps.
On this website, you will be able to create a new feature request for one of my apps, propose a new app idea, or even request modifications to another open-source app. You will be able to back these feature requests with a donation pledge.
You can also pledge a donation to an existing feature request created by another user on Fund My App. It therefore makes it possible to crowdfund features: individual pledges are combined to fund the development of a specific feature.
My current goal is to first test this concept through my own app development. I hope it can help foster more community-driven development and improve funding for open-source apps. If the concept proves successful, it could be extended way beyond my own projects.
Try it out, and don't hesitate to give me feedback, whether on the general idea or on its current implementation.
Cheers,
Pierre.
Ps: I will make a video presentation of Fund My app soon.
Ps2: That doesn't change the fact that I plan to continue maintaining my applications on a volunteer basis.
Also maybe make sure your window title and name are similar or equal to your application name, as Lomiri does a fuzzy compare to detect the application corresponding to a window.
Well I don't know, I've not done anything in particular, with 24.04-1.3 there should be only one window by default for a Xwayland program.
Make sure to do
export GDK_BACKEND=x11
export DISABLE_WAYLAND=1
before you start your app
Yes, Well I guess your application is firing 2 windows, no?
You can install xdotool to list the existing xWayland windows.
My guess is, that this bug is not related to UT, but that your application is starting 2 windows.
Yes but what version precisely? Because there was an important change about that between 24.04-1.2 and 24.04-1.3 .
Can you re-upload the screenshot we cannot see it!
with my pEFL App, two windows open: one named "pefl" (my app) and one named "X11 Support."
In Min Browser (which also runs via Xwayland, right?), there's only one window. So somehow you managed to get rid of the "X11 Support" window.
Strange maybe you can post a screenshot, on your topic and mention me, I will reply there!
In Min Browser, the input from the Maliit Keyboard is sometimes overwritten (for example, I want to open www.google.de , but at some point it turns into www.googlegoogle.de ). I think it is this problem: https://github.com/minbrowser/min/issues/2705
Yes I plan to work on fixing that soon!
Sorry but I'm not sure to understand your message, what you want to achieve, or what keyboard issue you are talking about.
Can you explain more?
I've published the new revision (0.1.8) with the following improvements:
-Fix layout problem coming from changes upstream
-Improve ContentHub handling
-Improve call icons layout
I should also not crash on 24.04-2.x, although it will probably not be usable yet, as for now it seems that On-Screen-Keyboard does not work on any XWayland app. I will try to investigate more about that soon.
I next revision I will try to add an option to configure scaling with fine grain, and few improvements/fixes in the UI.
By the way I've personally installed the script in a way that stands in time by creating a systemd file:
( Because it improves a log my day-to-day experience)
/etc/systemd/system/backup-4g.service :
[Unit]
Description=LTE backup Service
After=network.target
[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/home/phablet/backup-ip.sh
Restart=on-failure
WorkingDirectory=/home/phablet/
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
and then
sudo systemctl enable backup-4g
So that it starts automatically at startup.
For this to work you need to have the script that I have posted above in /home/phablet/backup-ip.sh
Have you filed a bug somewhere ?
I've not understood the quotes about 26.04!
Hello Brenno,
Could you explain where the deamon is installed? Becaused I notice that when I disable the account inside the app and then uninstall the app, I still have some greenline deamon running, and creating some logs:

Thank you very much! 
And it seems like that when keyboard closes, the text entry still stays halfway up the screen. But that bug was preexisting.
Yes because for now I cannot detect when the keyboard is really open or not.
The keyboard closing after every message is new.
Ok I guess it might be a change upstream in Signal-Desktop that provoked it. Thank's for reporting I'll see what I can do about it in next revision.
I've just released revision 8.13.0-1, it includes the following improvements:
It took a bit of time as changes upstream broke my way to compile the package and I had to investigate it.
Also I've changed the way ContentHub is handled, now it is hardcoded in Signal-Destkop thank's to a patch. I will make things smoother and more reliable for the user, but it will also prepare the ground for switching to Wayland, with Mir2.x
This version should also not crash on Ubuntu Touch 24.04-2.x, although the virtual keyboard will probably not work, like on all XWayland apps with 24.04-2.x (currently).
I plan to release a new version every 1-2 month, as a Signal-Desktop version is only guarantied to work for a period of 3 months.
A feature I want to add is the ability to configure scaling with fine grain.
Tell me if the new version works well for you!
I need to test again soon,
When I tested a few month ago the OSK (on-screen keyboard) was not working anymore in XWayland apps ( uWolf, Chromium for UT, Signal UT, Whatsnew, Min browser, Rocket.Chat), which is a huge problem for me.
If someone has tested maybe you can say if it is better now.
To stop the script:
sudo pkill backup-ip.sh
It's true that I've not taken into account the case where LTE is activated, but mobile data is disabled.
You can publish on youtube or other video platform.
For the record I will publish a new version with update Signal-Desktop version, in early june.
