The window is wider than the display so many parts of the UI aren't visible. Tried portrait/landscape mode to no avail. I don't remember if I tried the trick from the Mobian wiki to force resizing, but most of the time it scales text as well and it becomes tiny, text menus are impossible to tap on. Then I tried Password Safe from the Debian repo - it's not the same program as the one from Flathub. It's older, and not compatible with KeePass databases.
For me, Password Safe (from Flathub) is a solid alternative and fits my need.

I have yet to receive my PinePhone, so correct me if I am wrong, but I am assuming it's just GNU/Linux, although of course many apps will not be adapted to a mobile friendly UI. Amirite?
And if that's true, shouldn't something like Transmission (the server part) work out of the box? If you meant an all in one solution (including a GUI) than I take your point. Although, pretty sure they have a web interface, too...

I installed Transmission, and it appeared to work fine when scale-to-fit was enabled.

A Jitsi application would be nice. (Jitsi is an open-source alternative to meeting software like Zoom.) It does work via a web browser on desktop systems but something designed specifically for the mobile screen would be preferable. There are Android and IOS versions of the Jitsi application but not for Linux phones as far as I know.

Theyre just not interested in trying anything else, yet the .deb package and the web version of Discord are optimized for desktopOn my pinephone I also installed MATE. Xfce works great too. The benefit of having a desktop session in addition to phosh is that you can run desktop apps in a desktop environment. You need to also install onboard (virtual keyboard) and lightdm, enable the use of the virtual keyboard in lightdm, and disable the phosh greeter.

it'd be cool if Anbox worked better, too. then "what Android app do you miss" would be a moot question.

Just to reference what already exists (sorry for the shameless self plug):
https://linmobapps.frama.io
Some of the things mentioned above already are a reality: briar-gtk is phone optimized, Kiwix and Stellarium work well enough. Anbox is not listed, but it works (at least on some distributions).

Some remotes for MPD and KODI. I currently use anbox/mpdroid kore for that purpose… I've tried ario with fit-to-scale but it isnt that good.
A complet «kde-connect» stuff, (or gs-connect, or whatever-connect) implementation in order to answer sms (and maybe calls : through pulseaudio module-native-protocol-tcp, it could be possible to send the micro input of the laptop to the phone and the phone output to the laptop over an ethernet connexion i guess…)
A strava-like app.

Source for Kore(android(not x11) network remote control for OSMC/Kodi app)
https://github.com/xbmc/Kore
Also for those who have paid accounts here are the pay service plugins for Kodi:
*DIsney plus
https://k.slyguy.xyz/
*Netflix
https://github.com/CastagnaIT/plugin.video.netflix
Lastly if you need older source for a very large number of mobile tuned apps perfect for Maemo Leste but also for other X11 mobile apps the Maemo Garage for N900 and older Nokia tablets is a great place to look.

This is important and probably should be most people's first choice for easy to build/already on the repo IM/video chat on linux systems considering we are the types to put hardware switches onto our telephone's modem and cameras.
Qtox, is a FOSS tox IM, voice and video chat app, it is NOT tied to your phone number and is very secure
https://qtox.github.io/
Signal might be secure and private but at registration it still automagically spams you out to all of your contacts with signal and it is tied to your telephone number.
