@Justin, do you know of somewhere that explains why?
Not off the top of my head, but Iām sure you can find some on your favourite search engine.
@Justin, Iāve tried why is akonadi disliked - Google Suche. I asked regardless because Iāve solely ever been able to locate fairly non-comprehensive anecdotes, frequently from users (rather than developers). Additionally, some appear to partially misattribute the cause to Akonadi, when itās more probably appears to be a packaging issue.
Either way I am not a fan of Akonadi, so I was hoping for Raven to continue as it was. However Devin the original developer of Raven doesnāt have much time and the time he does have generally spends fixing Plasma Mobile issues. Oh well. Hopefully now that Thunderbird has an Android mail client we might see a mobile Linux version. I know people are doing amazing work on a Firefox stylesheet to make it work great on mobile.
This is now well off-topic so letās leave it to discussion about App ideas.
Reminder that we have this wiki page now as a generic place for application ideas for simple apps:
https://community.kde.org/App_ideas
I added a bunch of my ideas there as well.

@Justin, thatās actually less probable with the release of their AOSP client, since itās merely a fork of K-9 mail. Theyād be maintaining two mobile interfaces if they made the desktop Thunderbird client work on mobile form factors. Additionally, if youāve ever used the Firefox mobile stylesheet package provided by PMOS, itās in its infancy. To extrapolate that to Firefox would be a non-trivial undertaking.
We already have that, as part of Qrca.

Ah, I thought I had heard about it but couldnāt find it. Removing from the wiki.
Once it actually gets a release and a stable flatpak it would be great.
All it needs is a more sensible default window size on desktop and have it remember which tab was last opened before closing and itās perfect.

Is āQrcaā an established app? The name is very similar to Gnome Orca
@mystchonky, itās been around for a few years. invent.kde.org/utilities/qrca reports:

ā¦As corroborated by commit ā60ad680646b7fb8cf5435a0463f9955d6a85fc8aā.
Itās interesting as I come back across this thread and realise that we need better āmarketingā (for lack of a better term) around our less known applications. Qrca not being known above and a post on Mastodon a few days ago about someone not knowing about Tokodon made me realise this.
Edit: I just checked https://apps.kde.org/ and Qrca is not on there, Iāll investigate why.

It is there, but itās unfindable because it doesnāt have the QR Code keywords in it and itās called āBarcode scannerā.

Looks like people started using that issue board but forgot to link to it from the preexisting wiki.
