Cool demo, but it seems like a bad idea to use this for a landing page. Took over 30 seconds to load for me - unless I knew this was a demo I would probably just close the page.


If you point the comments to be fetched from an instance you host, I assume you could silence/suspend users or domains on your instance and they would no longer show up in the comments (although that's probably not an ideal solution for most cases).


It's been a while, but a few months ago I used this image [0] and it worked great.

> I've set up my email client on my phone, so that it only notifies me if one of my developers emails me. I use the VIP feature of Samsung's email client, which seems to be unique to that specific client, since I haven't been able to find another with it.

Maybe not quite as simple to set up, but you should be able to get something similar on most clients with a folder and a filter. I've done this for some of my important/urgent folders, with K9-Mail set to only show notifications from those folders (notification class).


Yes, Anbox is working pretty well on Arch Linux ARM [0][1], although I haven't tried Signal specifically.

Anbox is so RAM-heavy that it really isn't a realistic solution for running Signal (or OSMAnd, another app that I need on my daily driver), at least not on the 2GB Pinephone board. Yes, Anbox support is moving right along so that you can open an Android app on your Pinephone, but not in a way that you can also use e.g. the web browser at the same time.


Ah, fair, I think I've only ever used it on a 3GB board with ZRAM enabled. It also looks a bit blurry on Wayland, hopefully that gets fixed soon (it looks like there's a bounty for it [0]).

It can work, but it's definitely no fun to use it without ZRAM and/or swap (and better not wear your eMMC out by swapping to it).


Like other commenters said, it's just Linux so you can do pretty much anything.

For Qt, the current stack seems to be Kirigami, which is KDE's library for convergent apps. There's also the Mauikit framework, which is built on top of Kirigami (I don't know enough to know the exact differences).

For Gtk, it's libhandy, which adds a few widgets for convergent apps.

It looks like Flutter doesn't support ARM yet, I found this after a quick search: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/60678

There's also a few Electron/Webkit-based apps (especially for UBPorts), which is a nice temporary solution to get an app on the device while there isn't yet a native equivalent.


I feel like the post title should be something closer to the email, like one of the first lines "Is there still somebody around in the cairo community who is willing and able to make a release".



Nextcloud is exactly this.


My exact thought reading the link, there's plenty of ebook reader apps for nextcloud. It may even work out of the box, I'm not sure.

Same goes for most formats you can imagine, overseas family puts up lengthy holiday videos on my server and nearly everyone just watches it in the browser.
