Should probably add APK as release artifact. Also want to finish local transcription first.

It sounds like gdrive and sentry integration might not be possible if we submit here? https://f-droid.org/en/docs/Inclusion_Policy/ In particular not sure if gdrive sign in required play services.

TL/DR: I do not know how to get IzzyOnDroid's attention on Github; I have seen his help numerous times in Github Issues specifically, if I am not mistaken, in aiding to get an app on F-Droid.

Maybe someine can help(?!?) with this by lettimg him (@IzzyOnDroid ?) know I humbly request his help and attention with this specific issue which I estimate could greatly benefit from his assistance! It no doubt would be ineffably appreciated. !

In looking up IzzyOnDroid's contact info on his website I stumbled upon this article which may be insightful, helpful and of value. Included is the Title, URL, and an excerpt from the article (in Markdown 'quote') which specifically highlights the use case of "getting the app on F-Droid" and how IzzyOnDroid was, and therefore might be able and willing to be, of assistance with Voiceliner: *I used Markdownr– an awesome and very useful Android app!– to convert the URL to Markdown:

Metatrans Apps introduces its own F-Droid repository

Clipped from: https://android.izzysoft.de/articles/named/fdroid-metatrans?lang=en (To read in de/Deutsch/German](https://android.izzysoft.de/articles/named/fdroid-metatrans?lang=de)

If you are developer, you can do everything by yourself, although it has learning curve and needs time. As I was not willing to wait and wanted to go for own store immediately, I requested help from Izzy. We agreed than in the beginning he will do everything (we achieve go live in just a few days that way) and than in next weeks and months he will handover to me tasks in order to educate me and I will be able to do the job by myself in future. Of course, I have appreciated his help and compensated for it.

(Longer non-TL/DR message): I'm so excited to see Voiceliner, I have been looking for an Android FOSS "voice input" (i e. speech recognition for keyboards) which it seems Voiceliner currently doea not aupport (I may be incorrect, I just found this app and want to help however I can– hence this post); furthermore I have for a long time looking for a transcriber and... just wow. Wow.

The idea and functionality and vision of this app I greatly sincerely hope continues tobunfold and I am excited beyond words at the prospect of making this an ongoing daily use. Finally, if Voiceliner maintains a FLOSS option (sans trackers) I have no doubt it has the prospect of being legendary, perhaps a desert island app... perhaps along the lines of Syncthing, Netguard, FairEmail, etc. (P.s. Netguard and FairEmail offers FLOSS and FOSS options, meaning donations are accepted in F-Droid / non-Google Play Store versions, and/or Google Play Store purchase, which both include benefits (obviously financial support to the developer(s)) not included in the Free/Standard version... I am all for free apps(!), AND at the same time I understand development takes considerable time and costs– I would rather an app survive and maintain development especially if donations and purchases make thatnpossible, especially if donations-only support limited the potential to keep an app developed, and alive for the benefit of all! I appreciate what you are doing and again look forward to supporting however I am able and willing!

Lastly, the Voiceliner Exodus Report - my praises and gratitudes again! 0 Trackers! Keep up the great work (please :) )!!

That said... (see TL/DR above* :) )
