Thanks for that background, @joao.azevedo. It’s very helpful to know and understand these things, so please keep monitoring and explaining if you have the time.
I’m thinking of switching to Byzantium soon (as long as it’s not too difficult for me to understand how to do it).
working on my L5, neat
Add Hours and Minutes (flatpak):
The colon is inserted automatically dependent on how many digits are entered:
C button can clear digits until you hit =, but it doesn’t clear the screen after the calculation is complete. Multiple calculations stack:Is Stellarium already working?
I’ve been looking for a Python IDE for a while now. Thonny is the most usable on Librem 5 so far.
Personally I think for development convergence and connection to a monitor is preferable. The L5 is still a perfect device for portability.
(At the moment I use Spider as Python EDI: is free and provides good support - even graphics output with math-plot)
How does it fit on the L5 screen? Please, post some screenshots
Ha that would be good. Still eagerly waiting for my L5 (My order is from August 2018, so maybe X-mas).
OT Spyder probably not a good fit for L5 screen, needs convergence monitor. What I meant is that Spyder is an excellent Python EDI for Linux systems (and free).
I use Thonny on rsbpi’s only for hacking corrections.
In web apps, the Desmos graphing calculator feels as though it was made for this phone. It works much better in portrait than landscape though. (In landscape mode, Desmos’ built in keyboard covers the entire browser window, so you can’t really see what you’re doing.)
Just wanted to mention here that today I tried a couple of screen recorder flatpaks - Blue Recorder and Peek. They “sort of” work, in that they start/record/stop and then save a video file, but the file plays back as a totally black screen with no video. Also, the UIs are not totally usable. Anybody have suggestions for other screen recorders to try?
OpenTodoList (flatpak):
This is a great app with a lot of intuitive functionality and it works flawlessly right out of the box.
Looks good. Does it allow you to set reminders and notify when the due date approaches?
I think it does, but I haven’t tested that yet. If you check the short video on their website, you can see reminders can be set for varying intervals: https://opentodolist.rpdev.net/
I don’t see a way to set a time-of-day reminder for any ToDo item, but then that particular functionality is available in the L5’s Clock app.
Edit: Also, there might be more options if you sync your ToDos to an online account.
Most screen-recording software is still only working with X, and we need one that works with wlroots-based wayland compositors here. wf-recorder (it’s packaged in Byzantium, don’t know about Amber) would do it, it does not have a GUI though. The Mobian Wiki has a fun yad GUI script for that purpose though.
PS: Thanks for testing OpenTodoList, I’ve added it to LINMOBapps since!
Thanks, Peter! That explains it.
Kali comes with a screen recorder ready to use out of the box. The only thing I read is that the record duration was limited but the limit could be extended or abolished by configuration. I don’t know the name but here people talk about it.
Confy (flatpak):
Browse conference schedules; talks by day, track, or room; receive notifications just before start.
FWIW confy is packaged in byzantium, and was supposed to be in amber-phone as well since a few weeks ago, but apparently nobody noticed that the build has failed there 
I just pushed a fix, so amber-phone should receive it soon as well.
This may seem pointless after all this time, but since I couldn’t find confirmation: has anyone yet installed Doom on L5? I think it’s a requirement… 
ps. Gameplay videos plz and thnx!
