14 DAY TRIAL // Dear Softpedia Linux readers, it is with great pleasure that I am announcing today, February 23, 2015, the Softpedia Linux web app for Ubuntu Touch (also known as Ubuntu Phone), the mobile version of the world’s most popular free operating system, Ubuntu Linux. The application is available for installation right now from the Ubuntu Touch Store.
The Softpedia Linux web app is designed for existing and new Softpedia Linux readers who use a smartphone powered by the Ubuntu Touch operating system, whether it’s a Nexus 4 or a BQ Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition device, allowing them to more easily get the latest Linux news, reviews, and tutorials about distributions or any other software on the go, wherever they are.
The application was built using the Ubuntu SDK software
A web app is actually a simple container that redirects users to the mobile version of a website. I’ve decided to create this web-based application simply because the Ubuntu for phones operating system has a great and easy-to-use SDK (Software Development Kit) that allows anyone to create their own web apps and promote their online business in minutes.
The fact of the matter is that creating a web app for Ubuntu Phone is extremely easy, as all you have to do is modify two URLs in a file, add some details about the app, such as name, version, author, homepage, as well as create an icon. Then, you will have to validate and build a click package that can be easily and automatically published on the Ubuntu Touch Store.
A Softpedia Linux Scope will be released very soon
The next step will be to release a Softpedia Linux web app for the Ubuntu Desktop, as well as a Scope for both the Ubuntu Touch and Ubuntu Desktop. On this occasion, I am encouraging everyone who wants to promote their online business on the Ubuntu Phone market to install the Ubuntu Linux operating system on their computers and go to the Ubuntu SDK homepage to learn how to install the software and get started with developing applications for this unique mobile OS.
