Wow! I released Sailcards for #sailfishos just a few hours ago and I was really stunned when in my YouTube feed popped up a new suggested video with a review of the app itself 😱

Seems I didn't get insults so I can consider my first experiment at developing a #linux #mobile app on SailfishOS an unexpected success 😅

And honestly I'm surprised at how Continuum Gaming channel really keeps up with what's going on in the Sailfish community!

After playing around with it for a while, I finally published my first #sailfishos #mobile #app

#sailcards was published on OpenRepos and can be installed with Storeman

It's a wallet to manage fidelity cards, something I needed myself and thought that the best idea was to just build it for everyone.

It's my first attempt, so I totally expect bugs to be there, don't be too harsh with your feedback 🤣

Scheint's gibt's #SailfishOS nicht mehr zum Download zum selber installieren.

Dann eben nicht.

🎙️ Whoever placed a bunch of big tables and benches at the ULB parkinglot rocks, having those allowed us to record a podcast featuring fifteen (!) people sharing their experiences on FOSDEM Sunday. Lots of folks from postmarketOS and special guests:

* @ariadne from Alpine Linux
* @flypig from Sailfish OS
* @1peter10 from LINMOB.net

Huge thanks to @williamtries and @tgm for editing this episode!

@Cykelsok Gratuliere, ich habe mir gerade erst ein #shift81 gekauft. Vllt wird #sailfishos darauf portiert?! Ist die Frage, wie die Kompatibilität zu Android Apps aussieht. So ganz kann ich leider nicht darauf verzichten.

Please share your used patches - I have also reactivate some old patches

I want only share with you the about 50 running patches that I currently activated on my Sony Xperia 10iiwith SFOS 4.6. Maybe this will inspire some people? I’ll also show my settings, where I’ve added one or two entries. Have fun and maybe there is someone who can ask the owners and add my updates to the “unified_diff.patch” files to the web catalog and update the patch in the files “patch.json” header? The green dots shows my moded patches or additional settings entries. Since I am able to...

Es wird's ernst: Nachdem im Dezember 2025 der Preorder-Aufruf von @jolla raus ging für ein neues 🇪🇺 #Europäisches #Smarthpone mit dem unabhängigen Betriebssystem @sailfishosnews, ist die 1. Charge in Produktion und soll im Juli ausgeliefert werden🎉 ! Anstatt der Mindestmenge von 2.000 Geräten kamen bisher 12.000 Vorbestellungen zusammen. Damit steigt die Chance für mehr #digitaleSouveränität #DigitaleUnabhängigkeit! BTW: manche wie der @Cykelsok holen das neue Smartie sogar persönlich beim #celebrationEvent ab 😎 . #DDay #Dit #didit #sailfishOS #Jolla
