Android Browser? #28

Please make Dissenter for Android and release the APK on your gab app store so people can get the app outside of the Google Play Store!

F-Droid will not be a good way to post the Dissenter app since they banned apps that use Gab to begin with. I would like to suggest uploading the Android app to the Gab app store and Github. The one thing that is needed for the Android app, is an easy update system since browsers engines get updates often and are needed to ensure the browser is up to date on security vulnerabilities.

The NewPipe app does this well. You can download NewPipe from Github, and in the app they have a setting on enabling notifications to let you know when there is a new version of NewPipe that can be downloaded from Github. How this works is every time you launch the NewPipe app, it will check github to see if there is a new version of NewPipe released. If so, it will give you a notification and when you tap on the notification, it will download the APK file from Github.

I would like to suggest the same thing for the Dissenter Browser for Android if one ever gets made. Everytime you launch the Dissenter Browser, it will check Github or the Gab app store to see if there is a new version of the app available and if so the notification will popup with a APK download link.

This way, no need for the Google Play Store or F-Droid. Android users can easily download the app and easily be notified of any updates available.

https://notabug.org/Tobiwan/ffupdater is a cool app that allows you to install and update firefox on degoogled phones. Maybe by forking this app and making a Gab Updater app that can be downloaded from gab.com and the Gab updater app allows one to download Gab and Dissenter and receive updates on Android.
