Hey everyone, I'm going insane due to a lack of creative project. I've written an app already but I haven't gotten around to publishing it yet. I'd like to know what kind of apps you'd like to see created for mobile Linux. I prefer easier, bite-sized projects over particularly large ones, but I'd love to hear your ideas nevertheless.

Flare, the gtk Signal app, needs to get to near feature parity with the mobile app. When it does, I'm all in!

I believe they're working on it. :)

It uses a library which currently gets calls added, for example. Once that library supports calls, they can add it for Flare.

I've been waiting for years now.

And yet. By the time Flare, and the underlying library, adds one feature, Signal has added six.

I doubt that. Signal has slow development, there aren't new features all that often.

And Flare and underlying library even slower.
