Include pre-built APKs #1

Open Scrub000 opened 1 month ago

For newcomers, it would be good to have a pre-built APK, with the app asking for the URL on first boot.

Hi, thank you for your issue.

While I think this is generally a good idea, I decided that I don't want to continue supporting the android app anymore, and instead focus on the progressive web app feature of the HortusFox WebApp instead. This ensures that it can be used across all devices, so other platforms than Android are not left out.

Sorry, if this is not the answer you expected, but the PWA should provide a likewise experience and is even easier to set up.

That makes sense!

When I had the app running after about 3 hours and compared the overlay with the ‘app’ pinned to the home screen via FF, I found the switch for PWA support!

If only I had watched the brilliant video tutorials beforehand!
