  @Gargron exciting. Hope I can finally convert my husband to a mastodon user ! @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. @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. ~/love+chill+sysadmin $ @Gargron@mastodon.social @Librenyaa@mastodon.social @fdroidorg@mastodon.technology @grishka@friends.grishka.me so it works as long as its not required to build it ~/love+chill+sysadmin $ @Gargron@mastodon.social @Librenyaa@mastodon.social @fdroidorg@mastodon.technology @grishka@friends.grishka.me which is it not, reading the build.gradle-nya. So y'all are fine-nya.  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 As an alternative to an Android app, you might consider Pinafore: https://github.com/nolanlawson/pinafore 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 https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon-android/issues/14 Also todon.eu is in the wrong category, it should be under Activism (like on joinmastodon).  @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 |
@Gargron 🤞
