With all these groups doing similar things with #FreeCode server software, are there any playbooks for reproducing it? Reproducible services?
7 days, 7 applications running on the Librem 5 smartphone dev kit (with video).
Web browsing. Taking notes. Playing Solitaire. And that's just for starters.

We're taking a look at software running on the Librem 5 Smartphone Dev Kit -- something new, every day.
Day 2 - Gedit & Apt
The Librem 5 smartphone team has been hard at work, and we want to update you all on our software progress.
Including: LibHandy, Calls, Encrypted messaging, patches going upstream, Mesa, Documentation, and... Quake II. Seriously.

Starting with something fun:
Day 1 - AisleRiot Solitaire

In addition to the new services I get (especially Tunnel), I hope this small contribution to #Purism helps. Now, just waiting for the #Librem5 phone!
