There's a new way to proxy the modern web for old #webOS devices! This option enables the legacy Help content, and runs on Mac, Linux or Windows (via WSL).

PSA: this solution is SO much better, that the community proxy will be shutting down by the end of the year.

Got a nice selection of Gingerbread apps in the ACL (Android Compatibility Layer) App Mall. Its a great seeing Google Maps working on #webOS again after all these years!

PCSX ReARMed on webOS App Museum II PCSX ReARMed is a free and open-source PlayStation 1 (PSX) emulator. Its purpose is to emulate the PS1's hardware.

Re-imagined UI for the HP Touchpad, lots of white and gray with soft border transitions, and round images.

As #webOS was transitioning from HP's (poor) stewardship to LG's they imagined a modernization of the UI, called Mochi. Its the stuff of legend, since it never came out -- but I got it working here:

Release 1.0.7 Beta Release · codepoet80/PCSX_Rearmed-WebOS Full hardware acceleration, touchscreen controls, working on webOS. Multitouch fixed.

What's this? A PlayStation emulator for the HP TouchPad?! Claude + webOS turns out to be a great combination!

ACL - Android Compatibility Layer on webOS App Museum II The Android Compatibility Layer for webOS revival edition!

‪
Back around 2014, a crew borrowed some code, added some of their own, and got Android apps running on HP's #webOS TouchPad -- for a fee.
Later, the community took it back with a patch.

For 2026, I put it all together: Compatibility Layer - Revival!

Old batteries DO get spicy!
