Linux support possible?
I was wondering, since this app was made in Flutter, is it at all possible to add Linux support?
it should be possible. But it would need another method to pull the data, since there is no AlarmManger on Linux. Then you would have to remove some of the buttons, since those settings are not available on Linux. And in general you would have to redesign the app, since desktop apps are used differently. But as long as I'm doing this on my own, I'm not going to work on a desktop version, because I'm not even sure it would be useful.

That seems to be the most difficult part. Is it something you'd be up for in the future once the app is more polished? I'm not at all proficient in Android development so I couldn't unfortunately

I suppose that's true but it shouldn't be too hard.

I was actually thinking about using it on a Linux phone, so a redesign isn't really necessary. I don't imagine anyone using this on their computer.

That's fair. I didn't know about the pull method part. Is this still the case if that's the only real change? As I said, a redesign isn't really necessary so that shouldn't be an issue.
Are there really users out there with a Linux phone for everyday use? Everything I heard was still disappointing and not really an alternative to Android/ios.

Maybe, but I don't want to promise anything.

Not many but they do exist. One of the reasons it's not such a good alternative is app support. So adding support for apps can help with that

Sounds good!
