I’m about to flash @postmarketOS with @phosh onto my OnePlus 6 to use as an evening device when I’m not in front of a computer.
What apps should I absolutely not miss out on?

@thibaultamartin @postmarketOS @phosh wish I could use my OnePlus 6 again, but the battery is completely dead. Are there any (safe) alternatives for a battery?
@thibaultamartin @postmarketOS @phosh If you're into flatpaks, Bazaar (https://flathub.org/en/apps/io.github.kolunmi.Bazaar) is a big improvement over GNOME Software as your main app store, especially on a slower device like the Oneplus 6.
Although you still need GNOME Software for GUI system updates.
@thibaultamartin @postmarketOS @phosh also, just a general tip: if you create a flathub account you can bookmark apps and the website generates a single command to install all of them. Makes it a little easier to install your favorite apps on multiple devices.
@thibaultamartin @postmarketOS @phosh Freetube was mentioned here. I think it didn't work on my Postmarket Pixel 3A but will check again. For Podcasts if you need off timer and / or double volume controll you should look at KDE Kasts. It works kind a slow and I have to download podcasts as streaming couses app to freeze eventually. But knowing that - it works.

And the whole category on Flathub.
@thibaultamartin @postmarketOS @phosh Adding to the list; shattered pixel dungeon ( ! ) , foliate or readest, audacious, nextcloud desktop ( if you have an instance), otp client.
@thibaultamartin You can check out more ideas in this thread: https://mastodon.social/@senderolinux/115328421004048234
@thibaultamartin @postmarketOS @phosh
on top of what was already mentioned:
- #Iotas for notes (with nexcloud sync)
- #foliate for ebooks (especially fullscreen where it now turn on dimming, etc)
- gapless for music
@thibaultamartin @postmarketOS @phosh
Tuba and Fractal are the first two I install on a device.
I use #GNOME #Podcasts (https://apps.gnome.org/Podcasts/) and GNOME Shortwave (https://apps.gnome.org/Shortwave/) both every day.
To find podcasts I use the https://podcastindex.org/.
