Mobile Roadmap

At the GNOME Mobile hackfest we discussed what the most important high-level issues across the platform are, and what it would take for more of us to daily drive it.

App platform

  • Adaptive dialogs / bottom sheets
  • Insets
  • System/portal dialogs
  • File chooser
  • Keyboard shortcuts replacement / command palette

Relevant: Adwaita adaptive roadmap GNOME/libadwaita#144

Shell

  • Smaller quick settings / no whitespace in notification drawer
  • Log in screen with proper PIN unlock
  • De-empthasize Emergency button on the lock screen
  • Rounded corners on app cards
  • New notification API
  • Expanded MPRIS widget with flexible per-app buttons
  • Kill airplane mode, have a modem-only toggle instead
  • Support >6 character passwords
  • Flag for numeric/non-numeric passwords
  • Transparent panel / inverted text color on light wallpapers

Portals

  • Contacts Portal (storing+searching contacts, replace Folks)
  • Wakeup Portal
  • Fix GNOME Online Accounts

Infrastructure

  • Push notifications

Apps

Apps people want/that would need to get better to daily drive GNOME Mobile:

  • Geary (Email)
  • Podcasts
  • Fractal (Matrix)
  • Paper Plane (Telegram)
  • Maps (vector tiles, offline support)
  • Flare (Signal)
  • Software / more reliable app store
  • Banking apps
  • Web app support
  • Youtube app
  • Public transport apps
  • SPID 2FA in Authenticator
  • Notes with sync
  • Todo with sync
  • Chatty / new SMS-only app
  • Password manager with sync

If we want to cover certain niches/very closed apps there's probably no way around Android integration (e.g. Waydroid) medium term:

  • Notifications
  • MPRIS
  • Proper multitasking
  • No system controls
  • Host keyboard
