Em recomaneu algun telèfon amb #KaiOS ??? Requeriments? Doncs que la bateria duri força, que tingui punt Wifi d'accés per a compartir dades, i doble SIM. I que em permeti tenir seguir tenint #Signal al portàtil.

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 👟

#NLnet #NGIzero

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🫠

I have published the next version of my webRTC chat apps for #KaiOS in the store. In this version I tried to improve the sharing of the device position and the connection setup of 2 peers. soon I have to take care of the inport of chatData to become more device independent. -> https://flop.chat

Flop - webRTC chat app

@james if their audience is anything like me, they're going to lose a lot of listeners. If a podcast doesn't have a working #RSS feed I'm not going to subscribe to it

(in my case, I *can't* listen to it because I have to use the #PodLP app which works on my #KaiOS phone rather than whatever app they decided to make which doesn't have a KaiOS version. But even otherwise, listeners have always had the freedom to use whichever podcast app works best for them, and this move attempts to take that freedom away. Having that freedom is the whole point of there being a standard broadcasting format for podcasts!)

@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
