@Gargron what about F-droid? Will it be released on it?

If you know how to submit it to @fdroidorg, please help us do so

@Gargron @fdroidorg Releasing on F-droid would mean no Google services push notifications right? I don't remember if they allow apps that use gplay services.

  Eugen Rochko

@Librenyaa @fdroidorg From what @grishka told me, notifications should work if you have Google Play Services installed, regardless of if you get the APK from F-droid or elsewhere. Although, if F-droid forbids it, that's another story. I'm not aware.

Nyaa, I kinda took care of that by not using the Google library (that has closed source parts in it). I figured out I can simply manually send the intent and get the device token. So no, it formally doesn't break the f-droid rules because 100% of the code that goes into the resulting app is open source.

@Gargron May I point to my corresponding article, directly linking to the relevant section?

android.izzysoft.de/articles/n

Unfortunately, your repo does not contain Fastlane structures (gitlab.com/-/snippets/1895688), your Play Store listing is not yet online (to pull things from there), there are no screenshots or descriptions available in your repo – and the website link gives a 404. Otherwise I had promptly added your app to my repo (apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid) meanwhile… Any chance?

@Gargron As an alternative to an Android app, you might consider Pinafore:

github.com/nolanlawson/pinafor

I use it on both desktop and Firefox on my phone. A very nicely done, responsive web app. And tolerably lightweight, to boot!

@Gargron Installed and it worked with my todon.nl account (although not post and news content in the explore page, but that is known). But when I try to make a test account on todon.eu, nothing happens. See github.com/mastodon/mastodon-a

Also todon.eu is in the wrong category, it should be under Activism (like on joinmastodon).

@Gargron thank you so much for your work

The GUI like me more

We're testing it in my free community

@Gargron Fdroid is considered, thx :)) Using Librem Social & Tusky. Looking forward to try it. About "Push notification"; android with MicroG works well with this. Some apps are using their own notification code (Ex. Threema). Its an extra background ptocess, but Im personally ok with it. Good luck with all
