Ever wanted to use your phone's NFC reader on Linux? Now you can — right from GNOME! I built a minimal NFC app using neard and D-Bus — no hacks, no proprietary drivers. Just run the daemon, tap a tag, and it works. 👉 https://gitlab.gnome.org/dh/gnfc/ 1/2 #nfc #LinuxMobile #MobileLinux #Mobian #NixOS #postmarketOS

What works today: read & import vCards from NFC tags, and detect any tag read — great for verifying your hardware is actually enabled. It's early but real. Contributions and feedback very welcome — let's make Linux NFC happen! 🏷️ 2/2

@okias
do we need yo install sdm845-next kernel for this to work?

@pocketvj Oneplus 6/6T should work with older kernels, some devices still doesn't have NFC enabled, but some (such as Shift 6MQ) will work only with sdm845-next.

@okias super cool. I'll try this soon.

Btw, you can (and IMHO should) use zbus_names through zbus::names re-export. 😊
