A Personal Note - Farewell (linuxphoneapps.org)

In late June, l'll become a father to a new-born. This means, among other things, that I will not be able to keep working on LinuxPhoneApps.org.

In fact, to be honest, I have not really been able to keep up with developments and changes since late 2025. Being back at $dayjob full-time and having learned to spot symptoms of incoming burn-out, I would allow myself to let LinuxPhoneApps.org just be 'a website' and take my time.

I have not used a Linux phone or apps on it. And I appreciate the work you have done. But you got your prios and a personal life. Take care and I wish you the best!

I imagine most users of the site understand that single dev passion projects will always end like this.

Luckily Linux phones are so far from prime-time that not a whole bunch of people are browsing apps for it.

i guess burnout is probably the main reason contributors quit.
