Research direction

No files or tests are named. Begin by reproducing the interface on the reported postmarketOS, Phosh, OnePlus 6T setup and trace the responsive UI entry points; the work is done when the Proton applications are usable on small touch screens.

Description

We are happy to answer your questions about the code or discuss technical ideas.

Please complete the following checklist (by adding [x]):

  • I have searched open and closed issues for duplicates
  • This isn't a feature request
  • This is not a report about my app not working as expected

Linux mobile devices are starting to gain traction and maturity. While the ecosystem is not perfect yet, it is becoming increasingly usable. Supporting this movement with well-adapted Proton applications would make a significant difference.

At the moment, however, the current releases are not very mobile-friendly.

For example, Proton Pass is now distributed unofficially on Flathub, and it recently gained an aarch64 release, which was great to see: https://github.com/flathub/me.proton.Pass

Unfortunately, after opening the application on a Linux mobile device, it became clear that the interface is not responsive enough for small touch screens.

Would it be possible to improve the responsiveness of the applications and better support smaller/mobile Linux screens?

Thank you for your work and for considering Linux mobile users.
