Hooked by the idea of running the same OS I use on my notebook also on my mobile device, I started to investigate the feasibility of using GNOME on a phone, with close-to-upstream Linux, an up-to-date desktop environment, and the user space I grew up with. Inspired by what great projects such as Mobian, postmarketOS, and the GNOME app ecosystem, and its gems like Wike, or Foliate achieved, and accustomed to FLOSS workflows, I decided to get involved:
One of my first endeavours was to revive Usage. While there are other great task managers out there, there certainly is a need for an application that hides the complexity of the underlying system. And as the sole maintainer, I continue the journey towards an app answering “My system does something I think I don't want. What is going on?”
Ever since I also took responsibility in Railway as a co-maintainer, where it is a pleasure to be a part of the Schmiddi on Mobile project.
