This looks really nice!

I really like this panel, do you have a linux version config or dot files that is similar looking?

Love this! I have been running a N150 with Debian 13 as my daily driver and super impressed! For ~$150 it packs a punch!

I switched to a basic Nokia phone for a couple of months and this put a stop to it :)

Thanks for sharing your experiences OP.

I have gone through the joys and pain of having an app approved and pushed live, to being teared down and removed for not meeting certain guidelines.

What frustrates me, is the reasons are very vague or don't have go into detail as to how YOUR app is in violation.

It is just a generic statement and you have to go through the hell of trial and error to figure it out.

The main ones I have faced are the following.

* Not adhering to Families policy requirements policy

* Not adhering to Google Play Developer Programme Policies

My apps are games built using Trusted Web Applications (TWA) and Google talk about the following...

"Your app must not merely provide a webview of a website or have a primary purpose of driving affiliate traffic to a website, regardless of ownership of the website. We are constantly exploring ways to enable new experiences for kids app developers. If you are interested in joining our Trusted Web App pilot for education apps, please submit your interest here"

My apps have no ads, no tracking, no analytics, they have a privacy policy, but it still gets rejected. :(

This is super well done!

Going through the pyramid brought back so many amazing memories. Had such a great trip here and because of this, I got to experience it again.

The website interactions are silky smooth and beautifully done and the image quality is just incredible!

Thanks for putting this together!
