I've heard good things on the server side from #fedify, but what's a good #TypeScript *client* library for #ActivityPub? Suppose I wanted to write a #fediverse client for #KaiOS for example
Asking for a friend 😉

@esoteric_programmer nice! I unfortunately missed that era, as my family had "only" a Nokia 1100 at home, but I read about them later. I wish #Symbian and its kind were still a thing (well, maybe #postmarketOS and #Mobian are the modern equivalents?)
There's a matrix client for #KaiOS called chooj, developed by @farooqkz
In the same theme is #Geoloquent, an attempt to rewrite the #FreeDesktop geolocation API in a type-safe language

While I use #KaiOS on my main phone, I also carry a #Mobian device, so I'm happy for anything that'll help improve location services on there!
(Side note: the #Furiphone @furilabs has done a good job of making a "mainline" Linux phone that works, though with the compromise of having a bit of #Android some layers down)

I'm excited to announce that #Convo, my #XMPP messaging app for #KaiOS has received a grant from @nlnet, or, more specifically, @NGIZero! 🎉 🤸
https://nlnet.nl/project/Convo/
I can now turn what began as a quick project made in a providential three weeks of free time into an app that can...actually do basic things like add contacts 😅
More importantly, it'll make the open and standardised messaging protocol available to a mobile platform where few large players have dared to tread 👟
Congratulations @badrihippo for getting your
NLnet grant for #Convo approved!
Under this, Badri will work on a #XMPP client for #KaiOS including #E2EE.
With a few modifications we could turn this into "#Prav for KaiOS/#JioPhone" as well 😀🎉️🤸️
Win win for all of us🫠
Details here nlnet.nl/project/Convo/
@cinimodev I never actually saw/read your reply, sorry 😬
Browsing is (maybe) the one thing I would expect #KaiOS to do well, since it is based on the now-defunct #FirefoxOS 🤓
Regarding the (lack of) apps, did you check https://store.bananahackers.net/, an alternative app store? 🤔
Couldn't you have bought a new SIM card subscribed to a very cheap plan? No Bluetooth? ☹️
BTW: Guess who now has a (somewhat) functional, working Nokia E72 in 2025 😎 #symbian
