A Discourse app that allows me to browse multiple instances of Discourse would be nice. One of the main reasons I still use reddit is that it allows me to see and interact with posts from multiple communities (e.g. /r/gnome, /r/kde, /r/opensuse) from a single feed.

This might actually work. Thank you.

A little app that lets anyone create a colorscheme based (light/dark changing) wallpapers would be really cool.
Potentially based on GitHub - dylanaraps/pywal: šØ Generate and change color-schemes on the fly.

A password manager that supports Keepass files would be good. There is already KeepassXC for desktop, but itās also a Qt Widgets app so probably isnāt nice to use on mobile. It also uses its own icon set, and the toolbar doesnāt seem to integrate with Breezeās header-bar style colour scheme.

This seems very similar to what can be done with Kirigami Add-ons.

Yes, but the KDE/Plasma key manager is kwallet(manager5).
I would propose to integrate all fetures (and e.g. compatibility) in one app.
See also my proposal:
Many things are there. But kwalletmanager5 isnāt a full functional manager but pretty well integrated.
KeepassXC is more or less the standard and will be used also on other platforms.
OpenKeyChain is a good GnuPG Key Manager and well supporting Password Store
Why not combinig things together which are more or less available.

I would like something like Switcheroo, mostly because I am an artist and I resize several of my works to upload them online.
I would also appreciate something like Tangram to have some webapps.
I donāt know how much something like Tangram can be made since it is interesting to have windows in the shape of a grid, but if not I still made a mockup, Iām sorry if itās not the best.
Edit: Sorry, I didnāt see that the post was for Plasma Mobile.

Before asking for new applications, I am wondering which cool application did we loose over the last decade? Calligra came to my mind and I am looking forward to see a new release. Other apps might need some love or porting. Any ideas?
Further, we should skim through the incubator projects and throw dead projects out and help the others to attract a stable developer and user community. It is not good to have projects in incubating status for several years.

Well, there are 3 points I would like
-
While we canāt compete with LibreOffice, Calligra does not have decades of old code in it! Itās well designed and light and I would like to see it grow!

I always wanted Kontact to get mainstream!
We didnāt have a decent alternative to Outlook! A powerful all-in-one software that would be open and work on windows (yeah, I have complained of this years before Thunderbird return from the dead)! Now, we have Thunderbird, but we could still get the train by just start shipping it to windows! Kontact is such a great software!!! -
For those who used to code Adobe/Macromedia Flash, I always missed such tool from the opensource community! Yeah, forget about flash! Thatās dead (thank you god)! But something as easy as the flash GUI, that would use Javascript, CSS (and maybe doom), that would just export has simple āpageā would be awesome (yes, I know there is proprietary solutions that do that! But none open that I am aware)

Amarok (ohā¦ I mentioned it was 3 points, and beside that amarok is already being brought backā¦sooo letās stick to the first 3)

I donāt know if any idea is more likely to have widespread appeal than a basic email app. The only current Linux Mobile app appears to be Geary which is both Gnome and also very slow and not very functional on mobile.
It looks like there was a KDE attempt with Raven Mail but despite an initial commit in 2020, there doesnāt seem to be any release.

I think among the apps in the Calligra Suite, Kexi (visual database editor) and Karbon (vector editor) have a lot of untapped potential. Karbon in particular has a rather good UI and UX already, which can be built upon to have a more intuitive vector editor. Former sister app Krita could be used as a reference for improvements to make. Kexi meanwhile could be simplified to be focused on personal knowledge organisation, but with a database/spreadsheet-like UX instead of a note/wiki-style UX thatās more common.
Gemini (touch-oriented office suite) could perhaps be revived for Plasma Mobile and maybe even Android too, with a continued focus on tablets.

It would be nice to have a virtual machine (KVM) manager similar to GNOME Boxes, although a āspice-qtā does not exist.

Raven Mail now lives as Merkuro Mail, but itās not exposed yet as it is not ready for too much exposure

I thought Raven was destined to be a non-Akonadi back end?
On another note, Iād like to see an eSIM Manager. See lucaweiss/lpa-gtk: Download and manage eSIM profiles - Codeberg.org
@julicenri, I presume it competes with Inkscape? In which case, why would a user choose it over Inkscape?

qt-virt-manager is abandoned, and already dropped from various distro repositories. Also is based on Qt5.
