  • What stable diffusion has a retouch option on PC’s then?

    I’m not a stable diffusion guru, but yeah, you can remove objects using inpaint feature. It definitely wouldn’t be straight forward thing to do though, and probably not a great experience since web ui is not really good on the mobile devices, but I haven’t used it in a while, maybe it got improved.

    And that is extremely ironic mentioning request it in ImageToolbox I actually already have haven’t heard back yet though.

    ¯\(ツ)/¯ I couldn’t have known you already did.





  • So, there are 2 main places for shortcuts/actions: tracker actions and edge actions.

    These are my tracker actions

    I set it so it activates when I tap and hold the tracker, it shows up those shortcuts. If I slide my finger towards one of the shortcuts, it activates it.

    These are my edge actions

    These are actions/shortcuts that you trigger by pushing the cursor to the edge of the screen.

    You can pick any app from your phone or any of the actions available in the app, there are a lot… Like system controls (volume, brightness control, media playback buttons, screen lock, screen rotation, etc.) and you can also make a shortcut for Tasker/MacroDroid/Automate action. So basically, you can make a shortcut for almost anything you can think of.



  • I think you are missing the point of the app. The cursor part of it is more of a gesture, or you can think of it as a “thumb extension”. The point is to help you avoid the inconvenience and save time by allowing you to reach farther parts of your screen without repositioning your hand. I called it a “phone touchpad” just because, when you activate it, a part of the screen is acting like a touchpad. You are not using it for a specific purpose of having a cursor on your phone, the cursor is basically just the tip of your “virtual extended thumb”. So it’s a utility/accessibility software.
    Using a physical mouse would be the opposite of what this app is trying to achieve.


  • On Android, it’s probably a little utility software called Quick Cursor (it’s not FOSS). It’s incredibly convenient being able to spawn a cursor on your phone from thin air that you can use to reach the “unreachable” portions of your screen, especially if you are holding your phone with one hand. Besides being a “phone touchpad” it has a bunch of ways of triggering actions/shortcuts, for example: volume or brightness control, launching an app (I use it for launching a floating calculator, notes…), opening notification shade, copying text (it can copy any text that is under the cursor, even if it’s not selectable)…

    It’s not that I couldn’t go without it, but it changed the way I use my phone and it would feel really weird without it. It feels like it should be a part of the OS.











  • I was looking for a bookmark app that can sync via Syncthing too, but I had no luck finding such an app.

    I think I will end up using markdown editor (notes app), specifically Markor, because it allows appending links to a file (note) through the share menu. It’s using .md files which you can easily sync via Syncthing, and then open the file on desktop with some markdown editor like Joplin.
    On desktop you would have to manually copy and paste the link into the file though.

    It’s probably possible to streamline that process more, but if you don’t save a lot of links it’s ok, I guess.
