Indra is now available on the OpenStore!

https://next.open-store.io/app/indra.projectmoon/

This thread will serve as a sort of unofficial support thread for now. Proper issues/bugs/feature requests should be done on the issue tracker.

Indra is a Ubuntu Touch app for off-grid communication using LoRa (long range) mesh radios. You can text friends, family, and neighbors without an internet connection. Messages are sent via the radio, which connects to other radios nearby to form a network completely separate from traditional communication infrastructure.

You need an external radio to use this app. They are cheap to build or buy, and a one-time investment in off-grid communication. Indra currently supports radios running Meshtastic firmware. You can connect to your radio over Bluetooth, the local network, or a USB cable (depending on your radio).

The app currently does not support configuring or setting up your radio; please use the Android/iOS app or the Meshtastic web client at https://client.meshtastic.org to set up your radio or change its settings.

This is a work-in-progress app. The initial release supports what the author considers the essential, core features of Meshtastic. Currently supported features:

• Connect to a configured radio over Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or USB.
• Send messages to public channels, private channels, or directly to other users on the mesh.
• View and search the list of other radios that your radio is picking up.

Things currently NOT supported:

• Configuring the radio. Please use the Android/iOS app or Meshtastic web client to set up the radio.
• Showing positions of radios on the map (next major feature to be implemented).

Indra is now available on the OpenStore, with all the fixes in Alpha 4 and a few more tweaks! From this point forward, the database will be treated as something that needs to be migrated instead of wiped on every update. (The setting in the menu to wipe the database does not actually do anything, and will be removed).

Are there plans for under-screen fingerprint sensors? E.g. for the Volla Quintus.

@mango Have you tried installing the Snap versions?

@nparafe Like I said, the snap does not fully integrate with the system due to scaling and keyboard issues. It's probably possible to use it with a physical keyboard, but I don't have one paired to the phone.

@Voorstad I am working on a Meshtastic app. Not Meshcore. Will be opening it soon for alpha testing.

There is an experimental port of Kaidan being developed: https://gitlab.com/alaskalinuxuser/kaidan_0_6_0

@GooglyBear JotIt Notes on the OpenStore can sync with Nextcloud Notes.

@majorquibble You can download the proper click package from the link in the post. If you have a more modern phone, it's probably arm64. Then you just open it with the OpenStore and install manually.

One very important bug I am trying to squash is being unable to direct message some nodes while being able to message other nodes. Need info on the patterns behind it.

@mihael I have this problem as well, and it's because the X11 server doesn't really know what the keyboard height is. The responsive patch for Whatsapp Web/Signal/etc is basically shrinking the window size inside the X server to the standard keyboard height when the keyboard is out. But it would need a configurable option to change that value in the app itself, I think. Unless there is some magic (and preferably confined) way to yoink the keyboard height from the keyboard?

Personally, I think the keyboard height in UT is way too low. But, an adjustable height keyboard Should Just Work once Mir 2.x comes out... right?

@pparent out of curiosity, have you considered attempting to bundle the Qt6 web engine statically? Similar to whatever is going on with Morph Qt6 version.

@mihael so is mine.

This is kind of strange that the icon is named Signal, I don't have the same thing.

Maybe localization oversight?

Seems like it works. But for some reason, the icon is named Signal (this is a problem with Min Browser too).

@Averiz very nice to see alternative keyboards. Is there a way to adjust the height of the keyboard?

@pparent said in French ID app interoperability.:

@domubpkm

Well I'm not sure but given what I have published above, It could mean that it can only work by design on an un-compromised google certified devices ( I've read that there exists so-called technologies as "Android hardware-backed keystore" and "Trusted Execution Environment" , could the app possibly rely on that? ). So maybe it's not working with microG because they don't want it to, because they want the app to run only on a so-called "safe envieronement" provided by google.

This kind of stuff is happening more and more. Even apps like the ChatGPT app for Android require "Play Integrity." It's an API that needs to be made illegal, and a lot of national apps are relying on it too. For example, the Icelandic app Auðkenni used to work without it, but now your device has to be "secure" in order to use the app. Thankfully, in that case, there is an alternative method of authentication using SIM Toolkit.

MicroG is able to execute SafetyNet/Play Integrity, but the device has to have the bootloader locked and a bunch of other stuff. And depending on level of attestation required by the app, it may or may not actually run.

@mango Have you tried installing the Snap versions?

@gpatel-fr Another question would be: is there a way to do it without hacking the database table? Like, is there something in the DB that allows it to select a browser without excluding apps from the list by doing a fake domain?
