My favorite apps on Mobian are Podcasts, Lollypop and Telegram. Telegram is the highest quality app I have used so far.

As a vi/vim user, ironically, every time I am fooled into using nano I have to search and be confused by how to exit/save a file with nano.

Developing with Python/GTK/Flatpak/Mobian is the nicest mobile developer experience I have experienced.

I finally had the resources to figure out flatpak enough to move forward. Now I am abusing Python private underbar functions like a pirate. Love that Python treats me like an adult.

Precompiling Mono is heating my office.

I added pampy (https://pypi.org/project/pampy/0.3.0/) and FSlash (https://pypi.org/project/FSlash/) to my #python #gtk project. This should add some #fsharp functional programming goodness to my python code.

This is an excellent example application using libhandy version 1. I think it is great for new mobile GTK developers like me: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/example-apps/simple-weather-app #libhandy #gtk #purism #mobian #python

I spent some of the weekend going over the libhandy, purism documentation and sample applications. I am learning more about meson, ninja and flatpak to build and package Gtk apps. I like the documentation structure. I am currently trying to upgrade my modified two-leaf sample app to libhandy 1.

The application I am writing for Mobian/Purism devices will of course be written in some combination of #fsharp and/or python.

I am currently making C# bindings for libhandy 1 in gir.core. This is the first time in two years using #csharp. I've happily been using #fsharp full-time for almost 2 years.

I am studying libhandy for use with GTK application development on Mobian. I am learning so much have so much more to learn!
