Had the need to charge an all electric Kia recently and guess what: both the charging stations app and the vendor's app are proprietary so how would I know when charging finished?
Turns out people around #HomeAssistant figured out the vendor API so I could use that to have a small app to monitor the charging status on my #Librem5 running #phosh

Next thing needed is a "stop charging" button as some charging stations don't allow for that either 😞 . The data leaking involved here is also concerning but as it is sent out no matter what, let's at least make it usable via #FreeSoftware too.
@agx so is this phosh specific? I noticed it had phosh in the name, but would it work on gnome shell mobile?
@QuadRadical in my simplistic world view phosh is part of the gnome mobile effort. Nitpicking aside: If you mean if it also runs under the gnome-shell fork for mobile: it should, it's a regular GTK/adwaita app.
@agx great, thanks.
@agx @QuadRadical it's actually extremely sad people got so used to apps not being compatible between Android/iOS flavors they imagine it's the same in the #MobileLinux world 😢
