- Ultimate Tic Tac Toe - (Tic Tac Toe)² Thank you, Nokse, for creating and adding the app!
Maintenance
Most listings were automatically updated, and many of them were additionally edited by hand and brought up to date. And because information regarding services or frameworks can't be updated automatically ...
Thanks
I would like to thank everybody who contributed in the past quarter:
- Max, for a number of fixes,
- cahfofpai, for adding Alpaka, and a so far unmerged MR,
- nokse22, for creating and adding Ultimate Tic Tac Toe and updating listings of other apps and games they have created! ... and everyone I may have forgotten, as this list is based entirely on repository contributions!
Thank you all so much!
Please contribute
Since April 14th, 2023, the way this site is generated and thus also the ways to contribute to it have been simplified. All relevant parts now live in one repository - the repo's readme is hopefully helpful. Feel free to ask away in our Matrix room!
Fixing existing app or game listings is just one click away (provided you have a framagit account) - every listing has an edit link at the bottom of the page.
So if you see that something is wrong, take the time and help fix it - by fixing it, or by reporting it to the issue tracker or via e-mail.
Adding apps
If you want to add an app (if you don't know any, check Apps to be added ;-) ),
Fortunately, we now have an easy way to do this:
LPA helper is ugly, but it works. We hope to integrate it properly soon - if you have questions or suggestions, do not hesitate to ask/get in touch!

You can also send your prepared listing via email to the devel-list.
What's next?
I still have not managed to write the post with plans and goals for 2024, and it makes less sense to write one with every day that goes by. We do have a public issue tracker, that lists things that should be changed. Progress on my side has been very slow, apologies for that! There's a glimmer of hope though, as, from September onwards, I should have a bit more time by switching to a four day work week.
Feedback, thoughts?
Thank you for reading this post! If you enjoyed it, please spread the word about this post and LinuxPhoneApps.org - it can also be useful for your friends or yourself if you only use the Linux Desktop, as we constantly check for and add new, awesome adaptive Linux apps!
