Revision history [back]

Hello Sailors!

I stumbled across Picross in Jolla Store a few weeks back, but it didn't work at all. At some point a fatal bug had slipped in the release version, or something, but there was a patch for it already. I tested it and it worked - and I liked the game, too. I decided to fix the application properly and publish it, and ended up rewriting some parts of it.

This gave me an idea; are there any other community-provided applications that you would like to use, but are no longer maintained? Submit your suggestions in answers, and I see what I can do :)

How are the projects progressing, you ask?

• Picross 2: New release with many minor and moderate fixes and improvements almost done!
• YTplayer: It compiles and runs, but there are mysterious performance issues to be sorted out. Also YouTube API keys and stuff still need more research.
• Daedalus / SMPC: Not started yet, but definitely on my list :)
• PhoneHook: Not started yet, but definitely on my list :)
• Call Flasher: In consideration. It may be possible, but the results may be poor. Looking at it later this year.
• Squeeze UI: In consideration. It's hard to test this, as I don't have a Squeebox...
• File Browser: I am implementing support for other applications to open files and folders in the application. Serious nerd snipe at the moment!

Hello Sailors!

I stumbled across Picross in Jolla Store a few weeks back, but it didn't work at all. At some point a fatal bug had slipped in the release version, or something, but there was a patch for it already. I tested it and it worked - and I liked the game, too. I decided to fix the application properly and publish it, and ended up rewriting some parts of it.

This gave me an idea; are there any other community-provided applications that you would like to use, but are no longer maintained? Submit your suggestions in answers, and I see what I can do :)

Edit: This question was inspired by Sailfish Devember, so make sure you check out that, too!

Edit: About Web browsers: As much as I'd like to create an awesome browser, I don't have the resources. The are many Qt WebEngine (or was it WebView?) based browsers already, and adding one more benefits no one. Chromium or Gecko based browser would make more sense, but that would be even more massive task. Jolla might soon start tackling this issue, and they know it needs to be resolved sooner that later. In the Sailfish 3 day video it was said that Jolla keeps an eye on the matter and Chromium might be the way to go - which I think is not a bad choice at all.

How are the projects progressing, you ask?

• SailKino: major UI rework PR done in GitHub pull request... (14.2.2019)and released (25.2.2019)
• YTplayer: 0.6.0 RC2 released on GitHub and OpenRepos with new icon! (11.2.2019)
• CountMe 2: Screen blanking prevention added. (12.2.2019)
• Picross 2: Updated welcome screen, translations added. (12.2.2019)

How are the projects progressing, you ask?ask? First the more active ones:

• GPSInfo, released on OpenReposGPSInfo (25.11.2019)
• YTplayer: 0.6.6 released on
  • Mostly done for now at least
  • Bar chart component may have to be re-implemented (without qcharts.js...)
• OpenReposYTplayer (20.5.2019)
  • Quota issue finally fixed! Thanks Uses custom-made "youtube-dl-lite" for help, tworaz!
  • [New] speed
    (It means youtube-dl script execution kind of speed, not download faster speed :)
• Battery Buddy
  • Finally supports automatically updating youtube-dl
  • [New] support light ambiencespausing/resuming charging the battery!
  • Landscape orientation support
  • No longer Jolla Store compatible; only from OpenRepos from now on

Then the ones that haven't had much attention lately, but forgotten they are not, trust me:

• CarBudget: Pushed layout fixes to condo4, hopefully he still updates the app... (11.2.2019)
• SailKino: major UI rework done and released (25.2.2019)
• CountMe 2: Screen blanking prevention added. (12.2.2019)
• Picross 2: Updated welcome screen, translations added. (12.2.2019)
• CarBudget: Pushed layout fixes to condo4, hopefully he still updates the app... (11.2.2019)
• Battery Buddy: Version 1.2 pushed to Harbour (11.2.2019)

The future of these ones is unclear to me (but you can help, too):

• Daedalus: It compiled and ran almost out-of-the box!
• SMPC: Not started yet.
• PhoneHook: Not started yet, but definitely on my list :)
• Call Flasher: In consideration. It may be possible, but the results may be poor. Looking at it later this year.
