#NewPipe #SailfishOS dev diary day 81. Mopping up the few remaining ownership errors
#NewPipe #SailfishOS dev diary day 80. Repeated replies and my attempts to understand the Qt/QML memory ownership model: an unholy alliance between managed and garbage collected memory.
The port of Sailfish for the OnePlus 6 has the best performance out of all the ports currently imo. I recommend giving it a try.
#NewPipe #SailfishOS dev diary day 78. Today I'm trying to handle nested comment replies.
#NewPipe #SailfishOS dev diary day 78. After a bit of a break I'm getting back on track with my daily dev diary. Today, it's all about animations and transitions.
It's nice -- somehow reassuring -- to be back working on this again.
Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (22/2025): Is it June already?
Weekly GNU-like Mobile #LinuxUpdate (21/2025): Librem 5 5G and other fun stuff
I've said it before and I'll say it again: the EU should reserve some serious money, fork Mozilla and make regulations that governmental websites need to work on their fork (and Big Tech gatekeeper websites as well).
This is one of the items to stay independent from Google's, Apple's and the US's whims.
(The other item is a mobile OS like @jolla's #SailfishOS.)
#NewPipe #SailfishOS dev diary day 77. The intricacies of combining an expander with a context menu for comment items.
I'm taking a short 7 day break from posting these dev diaries, but rest assured I'll be back on Monday 2nd June to pick up where I've left off!
#NewPipe #SailfishOS dev diary day 76. Much code refactoring to better support JSON deserialisation on the way towards supporting replies to comments.
#NewPipe #SailfishOS dev diary day 74. The third comment option: expandable comments!
@justsoup @Sturmflut @MuhammadFreeSoftware @eliasr @Tutanota There's also #UbuntuTouch and #SailfishOS as additional alternatives.
#NewPipe #SailfishOS dev diary day 73. Testing different ways to display comments: fixed height or variable height?
#NewPipe #SailfishOS dev diary day 72. Real comments on the video page
Cool. #Signal began crashing right after launch, no error message visible. Couldn't figure out how to launch if from
#SailfishOS terminal to check for errors there. Had to reinstall, couldn't restore data because apparently one needs to manually create a backup? Didn't find any, so now everything is gone. Fancy software is so fragile...
#NewPipe #SailfishOS dev diary day 71. Adding comments to the video page. Just the initial design.
Always nice to see Sailfish OS getting a shoutout from Research Engineering at the Turing in their FOSDEM 2025 recap. A small nod that means a lot in a sea of Android and iOS.
Full recap here. Great read with personal reflections and devroom gems: https://medium.com/@turinghut23/highlights-and-reflections-from-fosdem-2025-987fabd26932
Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (20/2025): A Linux Phone From Africa and #Phosh 0.47.0
#NewPipe #SailfishOS dev diary day 70. Minimal changes to the code, but still a game changing fix that converts the app from a frustrating experience to something that's becoming quite usable.
#NewPipe #SailfishOS dev diary day 69. Further investigation into the hanging thread.
