@sixwheeledbeast I guess what I was pointing more toward is that there are situations or people that need a more predictable control panel. To be clear, I like the panel and the one hand scrolling. Its gorgeous to look at and most of the time its convenient. But it does mean that it is not good in emergencies. For example: say I urgently need to: Turn on wifi. I know to flick down just right of the camera notch, and the toggle is reliably about halfway down the page. access system settings. I try to flick down from the right top corner but what page I land on is a bit of a lottery. I then need to scroll to adust the pagu before I can do what I need. It is even worse for the items to the far left on the menu.

@RJDan said: @tunnel rush I would like to run the 'community favourite app' awards again later this year but there are a few things that could have been a bit improved. One issue was that we didnt have a nice award. It would be good to gather something meaningful to provide as a reward to the developers. I was thinking to organise a fund raiser of sorts but I dont know what works best in this type of crowd. What types of fund raising has worked in the past? From what I’ve seen over the years, small voluntary donations usually work better than complicated fundraising schemes. People are far more willing to throw in a few dollars when the process is simple and transparent. Even a modest prize pool plus a custom digital badge/trophy can mean a lot to indie developers.

@RJDan here is a link to the last (2023) post done by a NodeBB member about it.

@projectmoon ..... WTF, it wasnt there but now it is!! Luckily I took a screenshot of when it wasnt there. How do I share images on the forum?

@kugiigi Hello So I dont have another phone with display out so I cant test that unfortunately. I do agree that the hub seems to be what determines what issues I have. I dont have major issues using any hubs with my asus laptop to charge and display out and the laptop draws more power than the phone. What hub do you use?

@Lakotaubp Yeah, I think we should add a category for the strangest bug found.

Wow thats fantastic news! I am really grateful that I could help TELEports to become a strong App in this ecosystem... Nevertheless it is an effort that needs continuous contribution. And I cannot do so much (at the moment) for TELEports. I would be glad if one or two more people could help co-maintaining it, especillay for the larger Telegram/tdlib upgrade stories that are always a struggle.

@Vlad-Nirky Thanks, I did not see the double entry.

@gpatel-fr I see, thank you for clarifying.

for app - CinnyUT for developer - danfro who is always very helping for other users. Thank you.

PRIZES It will be a bit of a challenge to organise prizes as the community to spread out across the world and not everyone is able to contribute in the same way. For this reason, I think it would be good to keep it open to suggestions and anyone can put an offer on the table. Some ideas: offer to tip the winner on their librepay account if you are an artist, offer to design a logo for their app offer to translate their app to your language offer to write a profile page for the winners to go on the UT website (Like an interview about the developer) offer to write a review of the winners app (like a show case page on the UT website)

@RJDan Not while using encryption, because all the info needed for the functions you care about are inaccessible until after your home folder is decrypted.

@RJDan provide us with important applications that can be easily installed (one-click in the store), are safe (not random code from a random stranger with a random license), and have all the essential functionalities. I am willing to pay some money, let's say for fully functional Firefox, fully functional MS Teams, Slack, Spotify,... but mainly, they should not be outdated or unupdated, and the microphone, camera, keyboard, and clipboard should work. I know it sounds like a lot, but theoretically, it could just be an integration of Snap/Flatpak into the store. but that no bug bounty, that is more like fundraising

@k.nacke Sorry, there were snap connections that I had not set, so git-confined could not access the ssh keys. I have corrected it now and it works. I have successfully cloned the docs repo.

@kugiigi Thaaaanks!!! The reset button in the tweak tool did the trick. I did change the edge sensitivity when I was docked so maybe I accidentally change some scaling too.

@Keneda So side-loading the xenial apps did work. They start up fine but I have not had a chance to figure out how to get them to connect to my server running torrent yet. It looks promising though.

@RJDan I don't know about a gui, but dd is preinstalled in every linux system so you can try that. There is also the ISODrive UT app which could work for you, but it doesn't do exactly ehat you want.
