@mdk @purism a openstreetmap application is being worked on for that.

But the developers are not connected to purism

Yes the name (puremaps) is only a coincidence.

The project is unaffiliated with purism.

@maryjane @mdk @purism Is it the same that is available for SailfishOS?

@purism something like F-Droid from Android so I can get all things exclusively free software and secure. Other than that, of course Telegram, KDE Connect, something like KDE KOrganizer, handy notes like ColorNote, and good program for typing documents. I also would love Orbots and GNU Icecat. I use such programs a lot.

@ademalsasa @purism you can expect this from the librem 5's repositories if i'm not mistaken :)
The librem 5 should only run fully free software by default to comply with the ryf certification, so no f-droid alternative needed :)

@purism
I really want the ability to run .apk apps for the handful of necessary I need so I can ditch Android completely!

@purism Nextcloud and Jitsi Meet also

Would be great if we could have APKs :android: :android: :android: :thinking_rms:

@purism I don't mind leaving behind proprietary apps. I can keep running an emulator for those. However, there are several apps that I am hoping will gain official support on the . I am not really a fan of third party apps as they can be a security risk (even for FOSS). My list includes Telegram, Bitwarden, Tutanota and ProtonVPN.

@purism Game Emulators like gba, KITscenarist to write screenplays, krita . . and a lite version of blender, just to model simple polygons and make uv mapping hehe. Ipads have poor hardware and do several stuff. I know we can do more with that linuxy knowledge.

@purism A Matrix client, Minetest, and an SSH client with a GPG smartcard for the private key :)

@samylakes ah yes, seems like the thumbnails from the post were used... the full-size images are in the post. Sorry about that.

@purism I am getting into mapping for OpenStreetMaps with Vespucci. I hope Gnome Maps or Pure Maps expands their editing functionality to edit as well as Vespucci.
