App is part of Flathub Mobile Collection, but is too wide for mobile devices

[1peter10]

Thank you for creating this fun game!

Unfortunately, the metadata is wrongly advertising the app as fitting screens that are 360 logical pixels wide. 360px is kind of the "magical width" for #LinuxMobile (e.g., on devices running postmarketOS, Mobian or Droidian), see as this list I've compiled shows.

The current release of Duel! is unfortunately wider in reality (measured with Length

To solve this, adjusting the metadata value from 360px to the actually measured value would be enough. Alternatively, if mobile support is in scope, I'll happily help with testing - IMHO, you don't necessarily need a phone even to develop for Linux Mobile support, any touchscreen device and the length app should go most of the way.

Thanks again for the app!

Cheers,
Peter

hi @1peter10! thanks for the kind words and for pointing this out.

dang it! this inconsistency was caused by a 'hackfix' I implemented to keep window sizes consistent, which caused the app's min width to be greater than 360px, and I ended up forgetting to update the flathub metadata.

although it would be easier to just update the metadata value, I think duel just 'makes sense' on a mobile device. I'll be looking into ways to make it feel better on smaller screens/touch inputs.

later today, I'll push an update to undo the hackfix that caused the app to be too wide, but I'll keep this issue open until I manage to make it work properly on smaller devices. that list you've compiled will be of great help, so thanks!

I'd definitely appreciate your help with testing once I have an update.

cheers!

Hi!
The latest release (0.3.3) works great on mobile! Thank you for fixing this issue :-)
I've added it to linuxphoneapps: https://linuxphoneapps.org/apps/io.github.lloura.duelpy/

Let me know if anything about that listing could be improved.

Cheers,
Peter
