KDE Connect 2.0: A Major Upgrade for Seamless Device Connectivity

After a decade of development, KDE Connect, the app that connects phones, laptops, and desktop computers seamlessly, is speeding towards version 2.0. The app, which has been a favorite of tech enthusiasts for years, is set to receive a significant upgrade, thanks to a grant from the NLnet foundation as part of the NGI Assure fund.

The developers will be working on a project named “KDE Connect discovery and transport protocol improvements” to update the protocol and apps to modern standards. This project aims to improve safety, reliability, and accessibility, which will be the primary benefits of the upgrade.

KDE Connect has been a popular app for a long time, and with the new upgrade, it is expected to become even more popular. The app allows users to connect their devices wirelessly, making it easy to share files, send text messages, and control media playback. The new upgrade will make it even easier to use the app, and users can expect a smoother experience.

The grant from the NLnet foundation as part of the NGI Assure fund will provide the developers with the resources they need to make the upgrade a reality. The project will focus on improving the discovery and transport protocol, which is the backbone of the app. This will result in an increase in safety, reliability, and accessibility, making the app more secure and user-friendly.
