I have an idea for giving more "behind the scenes" details about @mastowatch and the development process for maintaining it. I tend to get excited about ideas and post things that aren't done/ready and may never even ship, not to mention the dozen other apps in the #appdev graveyard. Considering setting up a #kofi (like $1-3/month) where I can share ideas and WIP stuff with people who are interested. I could share a ton of content and ideas there that don’t make sense publicly for a paid app.

​​ A call to all app developers! ​​

We want your help! While there is an official Calckey client in the works, we'd love to see more third party clients for Calckey start to be worked on! That's why we're putting out a $200 bounty for either an original Calckey app on your mobile platform of choice, or a $150 bounty adding Calckey support to your existing app.

There are some guidelines though:

- Uses the Calckey/Misskey API (https://calckey.social/api-doc), and implements basic features (including all timelines, quotes, reacts, explore, notifications, chats, bookmarks, channels, antennas/lists).

- Written in a language that compiles for your platform of choice (Kotlin/Java for Android, Swift for iOS. No React Native/Capacitor. Flutter is a maybe).

- Follows modern design guidelines for your platform of choice.

- Submitted to an App Store (Play Store or App Store. F-Droid is a bonus!) If you don't have a developer license, we'll also cover the cost of that.

- If you're adding support for an existing app, it must have at least 10,000 downloads.

DM this account if you're interested!

Hi all, am trying out Calckey to see if I like it. Here's an #introduction: I'm Nick, a high school teacher of computer science, engineering, and (formerly) mathematics from Baltimore, Maryland, USA. I also sometimes teach teachers. At work, I love doing interdisciplinary STEM projects with students, working with robots, teaching students app development, and more. Outside of work, I love reading (especially mystery novels), walks in nature, pursuing peace and social justice, and I love my city of Baltimore! #Introduction, #teaching, #STEM, #appdev, #math, #compsci, #engineering, #Baltimore

Prototyping a Fediverse client for #AppleTV with a screensaver-like experience centered around hashtags, using #SwiftUI and #TootSDK. I'm amazed by how good some of the photo- and art-centric hashtags are for just picking a tag and watching images go by on the big screen

UBports App Announcement

Dekko Lands in Open Store!

At long last and thanks to the hard work of the new "Dekkan Team", Ubuntu Touch has this great email client in the Open Store for 16.04 Xenial users.

https://open-store.io/app/dekko2.dekkan

If you have a non-Open Store version of Dekko running on your device now, all you need to do is go to the Open Store app and install Dekko from there.

Enjoy and great work everyone!

Hey there, UBports! We just heard a little secret...

...Someone said that Linphone has just landed in the Open Store.
It's Ubuntu Touch's very first dedicated SIP app which allows VOIP calling - now!
In fact, you can even use it to make regular telephone calls, too!

You can create a free account and start calling other Ubuntu Touch users and anyone else who uses Linphone and services.

Thanks to @cibersheep and @bhdouglass for all work!
