F-Droid inclusion #1

Currently there is not a single app available similar to TypingTest app. It would be nice to have this app on F-Droid.

High Score feature requires Google Firebase RealTime database. Which is a offending lib for F-Droid main repo. Is it possible to save High Score data in device somehow? (or better alternative)

Untill then I think it is posible to publish on Izzy repo. Izzy repo requirements : https://gitlab.com/IzzyOnDroid/repo#what-are-the-requirements-an-app-must-meet-to-be-included-with-the-repo

Thankyou🙏🏿

Hello,

The reason that i stored high score in Firebase is because it is global high score list indicating that who has the highest among all the players in TypingTest

Thanks for your interest :)

Oh! Ok 👍🏿

Lets see if @IzzySoft can pick it up. Untill then can you update license & .apk file on GH release. App suggested here : https://gitlab.com/IzzyOnDroid/repo/-/issues/199

Thanks!

Apologies, but no. That unfortunately means that tracking (reporting user data to Google's servers) and using proprietary components (Firebase) is central part of the functionality. I cannot accept such apps, no offense meant. Nor would F-Droid accept it (even stronger rules there: no proprietary components are allowed at all).

I like the idea of a typing test app (though as someone typing with 10 fingers on a normal keyboard I wonder how to transfer that to the small touch screen of a phone :see_no_evil:). I'd reconsider if you could establish a build flavor coming without the "offending" part. If that means no proprietary parts are left at all, it would even be acceptable by F-Droid itself – a proper license provided.

Hello thanks for your interest once again unfortunately I'm not able to make a development for the app that you have mentioned because currently my schedule is too busy for the another application that I wrote named flight schedule but since the source code is available you can make changes on the application and publish it by yourself I am considering that you have technical knowledge about Android developments so please consider my offer on table and have a nice day

Well, for us it's rather #googleservicesarethebestavoided :rofl: I've banned them from all my devices, and many others have done the same. No good having all your data collected by one big corp.

As for the time issue: Rome wasn't built in a day either – so whenever you find time, it's much appreciated. I'm no Android dev, so I couldn't help even if my schedule would have free slots (which it no longer has)… All the best for your projects!
