MOVED TO FRAMAGIT!

Abandoned working draft for a Zola-based (likely with the adidoks theme) replacement for LINMOBapps.frama.io - the goal is an app directory for Linux Phones like the PinePhone and Librem 5, which

• performs well on these phones (linmobapps does not),
• allows for easier contributions for developers and users,
• provides more information and requires less maintenance.

It's up and runnning at alpha.linuxphoneapps.org!

For more read this blog post.

Please join the this project and contribute!

• Install the latest release of Zola (Linux Distro packaging status)
• Clone this repo git clone https://github.com/linuxphoneapps/linuxphoneapps.org.git (or fork it first and ssh clone your fork)
• cd linuxphoneapps.org
• Install the adidoks theme:

  `git submodule init` 
  `git submodule update`
  

• After that, running zola serve should get the site up and running.

• content contains subfolders for the content, e.g. apps, docs or further info on taxonomies
• templates contains the templates that render that content. For building templates, check out the documentation for Zola and Tera, Zola's templating language.
• config.toml defines a bunch of base variables for the site,
• themes is not a working directory, but only the place the adidoks theme gets cloned to.

Please don't add apps until the "Prototype/First release" milestone is completed (which will bring a template and describe how to add apps). Add them over at LINMOBapps.frama.io instead for now.

The reason for this is that until content/apps/yourappid/index.md is somewhat finished, adding apps does not help progress. Manually adjusting 5-10 index.mds is a chore, adjusting 300 is a nightmare.

There's a milestone for that. No ETA, sorry! Help is welcome!

The spec for apps needs to get to a somewhat viaable form first before moving the apps over. The open issues should clarify what's still missing and needs clarification. This template should resemble the current draft of an app entry.

See the corresponding Milestone over at LINMOBapps.

The above under 1.0 and 1.1 applies to the game section, too. Feel free to add issues to the milestome, any help is welcome.

To reach this goal I've already started a project.

No milestone for this yet. It will be added (along with issues), once 1. and 1.1 are finished, as these are blockers for this milestone.

Using AppStream Metadata it should be possible to add more information, such as release notes or upstream screenshots with relatively little work. For this, an "AppStream to LPA-TOML" converter will have to be created, and likely some diff'ing logic that either analyses the metainfo.xml/appdata.xml files or their converted counterparts.

We also might need a seperate, modular "updating" logic, as a key goal is to augment upstream information by information our contributors collect/provide.

In theory work on this Milestone can be started right now, as the current template is likely to not change too much (it might be extended, but that's all). It would definitely be helpful to also have a definitive list of the (relevant) kinds of extra information appstream metadata can contain that we don't currently collect/list on alpha.linuxphoneapps.org/LINMOBapps as early as possible.
