Sailfish Devember 2.0
It is almost that time of year again!
It is no secret that the app situation on Sailfish OS can do with a bit of a kick in the rear. This is that.
What is Devember?
Devember is a challenge you take up. It is an excuse for programming, for learning to code and for sharing it.
(from: https://devember.org/)
What happened last year?
I made two apps:
S'Play - an app for Swedish Public Service Radio
Tint - an app for Philips Hue
Also this great initiative.
What's on the menu for this year?
- Printer support (Internet Printing Protocol) probably (collaborators/testers wanted)
- Try to squeeze out an answer from PostNord about API use, again
- Look in to why fastboot is failing on modern computers... smells of unhandled EAGAIN/EWOULDBLOCK
- Bluetooth battery monitoring - anyone working on this, or that has ideas of where to start looking?
- I'm open to suggestions! That doesn't mean i'm full-on taking requests... after all for the maintenance to work it needs to be an app i want to use. It would be really nice to collaborate on something.
What will you make?
Who is with me? (Sign-ups as answers)

May I propose you get a Mastodon account too?

attah ( 2019-11-23 21:04:53 +0200 )editMy request is without ulterior motive. The fediverse is less vulnerable than commercial social media, that's all.
I am vattuvarg at mastodon.social .
vattuvarg ( 2019-11-23 21:23:31 +0200 )editI vote for printer support! Awesome if that can be added :)
JSEHV ( 2019-11-24 05:49:20 +0200 )editHow about Otter Browser an Opera clone based on Qt? As far as i understood it, there would just have to be worked on the Sailfish UI as the base is already fitting. Please could somebody try that :P
