Hi Kristen. Hope you're doing fine and appreciate your work on these beautiful open source apps :)

It would be great if you could have your apps included in the F-Droid app store.

Inclusion policy: https://f-droid.org/en/docs/Inclusion_Policy/

Request for packaging: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/rfp/-/issues

Thanks.

It's an interesting idea, I will try to read through their requirements and API when I have some time. :+1:

After checking out more on their setup I don't think this is a good fit right now; at the very least it would require a considerable outlay of work to get an automated system setup to publish new builds.

I may reconsider in the future, but for now the apk is available to download from the GitHub releases for those who don't want to go through the Google Play Store. 💙

I recommend it too.

Personally I depend on F-Droid as first choice for installation/updating apps (only use Google Play for banks apps)

I've found Obtainium very good for sourcing apps directly from the developers, no need for the Play store. Worth a look if you haven't tried it :)
