We have these amazing little computers in our hands. What are some beneficial things we can do with them? Websites, apps, tinkering… anything you can think of or things you already do. I’m tired of doom scrolling.

    Some of my favourite mobile centric uses (I’m a FOSS leaning Android):

    • I like to try to ensure most things are available offline: maps, notes, passwords (manager also holds “emergency” documents), media, ebooks, podcasts etc
    • OsmAnd has offline Wiki articles, this is awesome when travelling
    • OsmAnd can be great for finding POI’s such as food outlets, toilets etc when travelling (I since extensively mapped my own locality to help visitors by way of thanks)
    • Using stuff I self host synced to various devices: Nextcloud, Joplin, Paperless-ngx, Immich, Jellyfin & a bunch of others
    • whoBIRD is great especially when travelling
    • If WiFi/data is unavailable when travelling away from home, hook the phone up to TV with a hub, HDMI, keyboard with track pad & it becomes a full media system
