KDE Wags Your Tail
summary
Crowdfunded Bluetooth app-controlled tails and EarGear ears ship and work: nine-move RC prototypes become a Kirigami-based Android app that runs in background via Android services and Remote Objects, syncing ears and tail over Bluetooth. Control sequences live as small JSON files — a tiny domain-specific move language that can be shared through KNewStuff. Builds use the Android build Docker, Breeze icons for UI, GPL code on the repository, and users report successful, shipping hardware.
