Bluetooth LE Spam

I love annoying people with it. I may be an asshole, but it's fun.

I'm new to fdroid, does anyone know of a swype capable keyboard? I'm using SwiftKey but I hate that it's owned by MS now.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

Loyalty card keychain - copy bar codes in to load up and scan, can create shortcuts to specific ones, cranks screen brightness while a code is open

Kotatsu - manga reader

Unexpected Keyboard or Super Tux Kart tough choice

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

oh wow, unexpected keyboard is amazing for termux/Linux

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I hadn't heard of Super Tux Kart so I just went and tried it out and man...it seems awesome but the control schemes are all so incredibly awful. Do you know if there's controller support?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I have no clue, but hope at least a DS4 would work

edit: someone on yt has been able to wire up an xinput controller, so there's something at least

KOReader is a pretty decent ereader option, it matches what I put on my Kobo.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

It also supports sync between Kobo and Android, which is really neat

Breezy Weather

Haven't seen InnerTune mentioned yet: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.zionhuang.music/

Good Spotify alternative for me.

Binary eye. The best damn QR (and other codes) scanner there is.

It's also on the play store but I don't care I just like it a lot.

Either Molly or Findroid

OsmAnd for obvious reasons.

Breezy weather, cause goddamn is it nice to have an actually good weather app that doesn't want the most bullshit permissions that a weather app shouldn't ever need access to.

Image Toolbox - it's pretty nice.

Cool Reader - dead project, it's successor KnownReader isn't on F-droid, but it doesn't matter much. I still haven't gotten completely used to known, cool works perfectly fine and it has been my e-reader of choice ever since the j2me days.

Shizuku, Symphony for playing local music (jellyfin for streaming), and most of all Termux. Without Termux I wouldn't be able to use some CLI-only stuff on the go, use neovim, or SSH into my server to perform some quick task.

Hold up; is Jan 11, 2022 really seriously the last time Temux was updated anywhere? Wtf?

Fossify Gallery: https://f-droid.org/packages/org.fossify.gallery/

I've only really dipped my toes in F Droid but getting back Simple Gallery minus the recent changes has been well worth it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

In the same vein, fossify notes is so incredibly nice after years is notepad apps being riddled with bullshit!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Simple suite of apps used to be good until the dev sold it to some company, I think. The versions on F Droid are still clean, but on Play Store, they are riddled with ads until you pay, I think.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Yeah, agreed, that's what I mean. I use Fossify now, but the apps are basically identical, without the crap.

Everyone knows the popular ones so here's a shout out to a few that are perhaps not so commonly known:

  • whoBIRD - Shazam for birds
  • Subz - Subscription manager
  • zCard - Loyalty/membership/store card wallet

My most used can no longer live without app:

  • Joplin - Note taking. Various sync options. Brilliant app, helpful community & very regular updates (especially desktop)
