Hey everyone, I'm going insane due to a lack of creative project. I've written an app already but I haven't gotten around to publishing it yet. I'd like to know what kind of apps you'd like to see created for mobile Linux. I prefer easier, bite-sized projects over particularly large ones, but I'd love to hear your ideas nevertheless.

For me personally, xdrip+.

Can't switch to a Linux phone unless I can measure my blood glucose :(

IMHO we are a long way off from that being a good idea even if the app existed. I may make jokes about it but I would be terrified if my brother switched to a linux phone with his diabetes. There are just to many other issues ATM.

I am a bit confused, why do you think it's a bad idea? My assumption, of course, what that "the app exists" == "the app works". At least for me, xdrip is the only diabetes related app/tool I use at all. (It's also not that I am unable to manage my diabetes WITHOUT xdrip, it's just sooooo much more convenient than managing it through the sensor manufacturers' apps.)
