Describing some Dogfooding user-cases, feel free to try them out
Use some of these use cases to already use your not finished postmarketos and perform some dogfooding. I did not test any of these, I am just collecting ideas for the future and offering them to anyone who wants them. I will update and extend the description from time to time.

Wireless trackpad and controller for your computer
If you can get the right software running on postmarketos, your device can act as an on-demand controller for your Windows, Mac or Linux computer.

Feature requirements

 * Bluetooth or Wi-Fi (or even USB-Network) can be used to connect to the computer

Idea
If we can get Anbox running, it would be possible to get an already existing remote app working e.g. KDE Connect. Then you could use your phone as an controller for media-control or some shortcuts like shutdown or suspend mode. [[Samsung Galaxy A3 2015 (samsung-a3ulte)] is an example device which has everything needed for the application development. It is also possible to create a web-based control for a server-side application on your computer.
