  1. Why did I not hear about element.scrollIntoView() before?? :masto_sob:

  2. I've started rewriting my map app for #KaiOS so that it can also be used on a touchscreen device.

  8. @cibersheep he completat dos i mig de tres. Fa anys que no sóc ni a #Twitter, ni a #Meta. I #Windows a nivell personal ja si, uso #Ubuntu, però a la feina ho veig com un impossible.

    I respecte als mòbils, doncs fa anys que em ronda pel cap tornar a #BacktoBasics i comprar-me algun aparell simple amb #KaiOS

  9. I added a new tab to my RSS-Mastodon -Reader for #KaiOS that lists all images from the feeds. The app is a PWA that can be hosted entirely on its own; it consists only of a front end that stores the feeds locally.

  10. @delta @p2panda
    How did you do that with chat groups? Are they identities that only exist as long as there is an admin user, or do they exist until they are deleted? I would like to introduce a group feature to my p2p chat: flop.chat app for #KaiOS but I'm not sure yet how to handle the lifetime of a group.

  11. #KaiOS
    The latest version of the WebRTC chat app: flop for KaiOS has been released in the store.

    flop.chat

  12. @alcinnz personally I'd want messaging (it's the whole reason I'm making ). But that might be opening a new can of worms, depending on what you have in mind?

    What I'm missing from my is that and the ability to book cabs and make online payments (a lowkey must in some Indian cities *cough* Bangalore *cough*)

    All these are peripherally "interacting with people on the go" which is what I'd want from my phone

  17. @nixCraft further splintering the already meager development resources for alt mobile OSs is exactly what Apple and Google want. Not that any serious challenger to the duopoly had emerged after #KaiOS failed on the feature phone market. Well done FSF.

  18. I dream of a flip phone that can run postmarketOS and make calls over Wi-Fi and Jabber.

    Why? Because flip phones aren't expected to be a place where you run "apps." If you say "I have a flip phone," your bank won't hassle you to get the app anymore.

    postmarketOS does have some support for feature phones. It can run on the devices that come with KaiOS.

  19. @amin almost had to scroll up halfway to double-check that the author wasn't myself! 🤪

    I'm with you on most things including the (I want one) and (same). I have two and a half already, but am hoping for someone (my future self?) to make a decent RSS reader for it that's more than just an ebook maker.

    I think the main difference would be picking for messaging. Hey, with running on maybe I can turn those phones into your dream phone 😉

  24. CW: re: rant, bullshit social policies, moral policing

    @SpaciousCoder78 @libreinator @disaster2life @praveen it's astounding how people accept this separation even though they'd hardly think it sane to have rules disallowing, say, iPhone and Android users from occupying the same space

    (Bonus points if you use or )

  25. #KaiOS #Fediverse I've pimped my RSS reader app a bit, so now it can also load Mastodon & Pixelfed content.

  26. @SpaciousCoder78 @raccoon fortunately for me, the process is cumbersome enough on I don't end up overspending. Small mercies 🤪

    > By the way, what are the other missing features you think are a must before you'd consider using #kaios

    I am more into a gnu/linux os with a blackberry like keyboard instead of another embedded os.

    Also google is prime member of kaios team so it is going to be rough for privacy in long run.

  28. Putting the final touches on my upcoming presentation about at this weekend 🎨

    I'll also bring the Nokia 8110 running the app for you to try out afterwards! :xmpp:

  38. @mattesilver @M0YNG you are confusing #KaiOS - running local apps powered by #Firefox mobile on 256 MB RAM or more - with #Cloud Phone - running lightly interactive apps over remote conn powered by AOSP derivative on 1 GB RAM or more - utilized by some HMD devices.

  39. @valhalla @praveen it also depends on the hardware, doesn't it?

    on a is very much a smartphone, but if you put the same label to Debian on a it won't quite live up to expectations

    Unfortunately, many people have the impression that "being small with a physical numpad" and "capable of running complex applications" are mutually exclusive resulting in most manufacturers not giving good specs to such devices. So in practice phones are closer to feature phones 😕
