@linmob What I would love to see, would be a short video of each app in the app directory. I don't mean a full review, as most of them are going to be new, buggy and in development, anyway.

I'd just like to at least see each screen, what they're for and the features they have. Possibly showing an easy way of installing them on say +, + and would be a nice bonus.

Right now it's hard to know what's worth the effort to install.

@ozmik @Blort Thanks, I am aware of that list and have tried to add the apps that are actually build with mobile in mind to #linmobapps. Without a better infrastructure prolonging the app list with desktop apps that can be hacked to somewhat work is not a good idea, imho.

If you (or anyone else) want to help out, going through such lists and sending me an email with names (and links to the repo) of apps that are not on linmobapps helps out massively!

@Blort Well, if I had no day job and no other commitments in life, I might be able to do that. Seriously, these videos should then be updated on every release, and even keeping track of these releases is a full blown nightmare.
You're welcome to start doing such videos, I'll happily link and promote them!

@Blort That said, after redoing my blog (which is also a massive task if it's supposed to be actually good), I'll sink a similar amount of time to finally put #LINMOBapps on different footing, while trying to build some community around it.

Therefore, I'll build some bad prototype based on structured data that's easily collectible (appstream) or already exists (LINMOBapps), and extensible (markdown ...) and put that for discussion on the forums, reddit and the chats.

@linmob Actually, video production is one of my professional skills. The main bottleneck for me is figuring out how to get the various apps installed and get a voice over as I prefer to keep my biometrics out of public media.
