It would very nice and practical if there were developer test phones available for loan or rent on few central locations. Possibility to loan a phone for hour or two or rent for day or two or a week to test own application in real device without all those personal configurations and hacks we developers have in our own phones or reproduce and debug known issues in various configurations. This could be a Jolla driven service or a community driven service or both.

Please share your thoughts and how you like the idea. I would use such service right away if it would be available.

Another way is just make vanilla btrfs snapshot and switch between your personal hack btrfs snapshot and the vanilla one. That way you can always test the application in clean env.

But yes, might be easier if there would be devices available in local hacklabs.

Hacklab. That would be nice to have. I have no clue how to make that btrfs snapshot and how switch between two, but that really might be one solution although IMO raise the bar for many less experienced devs.
