The summary of the video states:

After such a long time, I finally get to share my biggest project with you all.

Big enormous shoutout to ‪@ThaddeusSilva‬ for composing the track for this reveal, as well as the other tracks used in this video!

Assuming you're reading this after watching the reveal, this is iiSU: a front-end / launcher founded by yours truly, with the same love and care you normally see in my video content. It was bound to happen eventually, and today marks the beginning of home launchers reaching new heights.

Front-end development is being led by none other than the legendary Huesos - prioritizing the dual-screen branch.

Huesos's Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/SapphireRhodonite

Back-end development has also initiated and we have more ideas brewing now that a full passionate and talented team is formed.

This is by far the most ambitious thing I've ever done, not to mention this is my first time even designing an app, let alone develop one from scratch. I hope you're as excited as I am, because there's still so much to share in the future!

For those who want to join the Discord, here's the invite link for you!

https://discord.com/invite/5JkBtVqd

You can reach me there a lot quicker if you have any questions or want to take part in the development process.

I've also created a paypal link for those who want to support iiSU and gain a few perks in the process, like early access when the app reaches its beta phase. https://ko-fi.com/usagishade

Alright, that covers everything for now! I'll be seeing you a lot more often as I've got a lot of free time to pour into this.

Til next time!

So it boasts a cleaner UI and shows all your achievements. I think this is a ROM for the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2. Like a tablet or phone launcher, I guess. Probably you can put this on a handheld PC as well (like a Steam Deck, maybe).

The app is developed for Android devices as well.

Your thoughts?

Maybe I missed something in the short video (which is two minutes long) but I'm not sure what this is exactly.

I occasionally used the Google-owned (but abandoned) Snapseed for photo editing on Android, particularly of RAW images. Recently I discovered Snapseed has stopped being able to export Jpegs from RAW files, which was the last straw for me. This open source app can, and can do a lot of other useful things too! Might not be 100% feature parity with Snapseed, but good enough for many I think

There are lots of apps that can export messages to HTML and other formats, but after doing some searching I didn’t find any for markdown. I know SMS are mostly text but markdown is a plain text file format which support text formats like bullets, headings, and media (usually by referencing image, video, or audio files in the same folder or in a sub-folder). That would be nice for reading and searching through in apps like Obsidian.

I tried to make a list on AlternativeTo that has all the apps you ever needs. I tried to avoid services and stick with apps, however there is a few services like Cloud-sync Notes, Password manager, E-mail aliases and a few others. I tried to stick with Free (as in free beer) Apps and when there is great options Free (as in Freedom) and open source.

Do you have any recommandations so I can improve that list without bloating it too much ?

About Habit-Maker

Have you found it difficult to build new habits? Habit-Maker uses rewards and encouragements to help get over initial willpower required to form new habits.

Features

Rewards

Habit-Maker game-ifies making habits by giving you rewards each time you check a habit. It shows the following progress metrics:

• Streaks - The # of days you've completed your habit in a row.
• Points - points for checking habits, with multipliers for continuing your streak.
• % progress to your 66-day-ingrained habit.

Encouragements

Studies have found that encouragements are vital to building new habits. Habit-Maker takes advantage of this by allowing you to create your own custom encouragements.

Before creating a habit, take a few minutes and think about why you want to build this habit. What benefits will it bring you, and how your life will improve by doing it?

A good encouragement should have:

• An initial congratulations for completing the habit.
• A message tailored to you, about the benefits or reasons why you should continue.

Some examples of good encouragements:

Completing a habit

Once a habit has been formed, its relatively easy to continue doing it, almost as if it were on auto-pilot. Research shows that ~40% of our daily activities are habits that don't require much (if any) willpower once they've been formed.

I am having some trouble in picking one of the habit trackers available on F-Droid/Izzy-on-droid. Which one would you recommend or maybe you know another good free/libre one (from other repos or sources in general)?

The ones in my scope thus far are:

• Table Habit
• Kudoku
• Loop Habit Tracker
• Habo
• and "Habits"

TimePlanner has also caught my eye but it seems to be quite a bit more than a simple habit tracker

Do you keep lists of your favorite things, such as movies, books, recipes, or music albums? You might keep list(s) that looks like this:

• Network (1976)
• Lone Star (1996)
• Devils (1971)
• The Seventh Seal (1957)
• ... Many more films

But how do you rank these?

You might be tempted to order them by preference, but this could quickly get overwhelming for long lists.

A much easier method is to use pairwise comparisons, which shows you single head-to-head pairs, and has you choose which one you like best.

After doing a small number of these matchups, Rank-My-Favs can confidently create a ranked list for you.

Under the hood, Rank-My-Favs uses the advanced Glicko rating system, to determine how many matches are necessary, and for ranking.

Features

• Import your existing lists quickly.

I want to backup some apps and app data in a zip file and be able to restore it into a device.

It's okay if I have to use something like shizuku to enable backups.

I say wiki as a point of reference, as it's the thing I'm most used to for organizing information, but anything that lets me create links on specific words, leading me to a different page/display can work.

I prefer FOSS, but anything that's a free download on the play store is fair game, TrackerControl should manage to block annoying ads.

Heya, Looking for an app to track tasks I need/want to do and then immediately forget about. I've tried diary-apps but those don't really work

So I'm looking for a private Kanban/task organizer, preferably f-droid or Github and offline. I have a public Nextcloud account, if that helps, but don't really need this to be cloud-dependant.

Thanks in advance.

Is there a way to redirect youtube links to NewPipe or similar either systemwide or at last when the link opens in Firefox?

I understand the free apps need ads, but I'd rather not watch that video than watching TWO video ads.

Not an app but a JVM library. There is a library that scrapes youtube https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor but it's docs are hard to understand and it needs configuration to use it.

So I made a wrapper library called NewValve, which makes it a lot easier to use it in your Android or Java/Kotlin apps.

What's new in v5.4:

• Link mobile and desktop apps via secure quantum-resistant protocol.
  • ⚡️ Quick start - how to use it.
  • How does it work?
  • 🤖 Connecting to remote CLI.
• Better groups.
  • Faster to join and more reliable.
  • New group features:
    • create groups with incognito profile,
    • block group members to reduce noise,
    • prohibit files and media in a group.
• Better calls: faster to connect, with screen sharing on desktop.

There are many other improvements and fixes in this release:

• profile names now allow spaces.
• when you delete contacts, they are optionally notified.
• previously used and your own SimpleX links are recognized by the app.
• and more - see the release notes.

Hi guys,

Can you suggest me an Android Dashcam App.

I know I know, I'd buy seperate hardware Dashcam but until I do so please recommend me an app so that I can utilize my Phone's Camera and Mic.

I love FOSS but any app will do.

Thanks.

Decided to write about pretty much all the apps I use on my device. Most of them are free and open source too :P

Its there any app that let me add/select webstrips and keeps track what I've read and left off?

The two apps in question are called Signal Plus Messenger and FlyGram. The former was active on the Play Store for over nine months and downloaded roughly 100 times before Google took it down. FlyGram was created by the same group, and was removed back in 2021. However, both apps remain available on third-party websites and via the Samsung app store.
