license question

[IzzySoft]

Thanks for making your app available here, so other affected (and concerned) people can use it! However, there's the question of whether they can also share it, as you didn't declare a license. Would you consider doing so? Assuming you are open to "wide and easy distribution without difficult terms", I guess MIT would be a good choice. But any other OSI/FSF approved FOSS license (here's a helpful list to choose from) would do as well. Thanks in advance!

Thanks. Added MIT licence

Wonderful, thanks! In about an hour, your app becomes available in my repo so it will be easier to discover (for people using an F-Droid client and having my repo enabled), install and keep updated. Some considerations:

• you have no dedicated app icon, so your app will just use Android's standard green robot. You might wish to create and use your own.
• WebSearch: Currently, the selection is limited to Yandex and Google. Both are proprietary search engines not exactly known to be privacy-friendly. You might wish to add some more privacy-friendly ones (e.g. DuckDuckGo, Startpage, Gruble, Mojeek) or offer an option to configure a custom engine.
• To keep the app description up-to-date and be able to e.g. add/replace screenshots, add to the list of features etc., you could consider setting up Fastlane (I can offer a PR to provide you with a starter package which you then can build upon, and use my Fastlane Cheat Sheet for assistance). Fastlane is the de-facto standard most Android apps use for that. Just let me know if I shall open that PR.

But for now, I hope you enjoy the boosted audience!

I thought about it, but since the icon is hidden in the launcher, there is no search in the list of recently opened applications, it turns out that it is only in the list of installed applications and in the store. maybe I'll add it later

WebSearch: Currently, the selection is limited to Yandex and Google

good idea. I will consider providing a url input field for using any web search engine.

thank you for your interest, I will be glad to see the PR.
