Thanks a lot for the suggestion @c33s! I'll publish it during the weekend.

In the meantime, the APK is available on the Releases.

awesome! thank you!

for me f-droid is some kind of security check for apps, so i will wait for the fdroid release :)

Hey @c33s! Sorry about the delay. I need a little more time.

I've been having a little bit of trouble building the APK and the remaining time was spent on sales efforts to get this app pre-installed on some devices. I haven't forgotten about this issue.

[c33s]

take all the time you need. thank you for you work and for making it opensource!

[nizarmah]

Hey @c33s. I opened https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/merge_requests/21665. It's only a matter of a little less time now 😂

It turns out I was using the wrong source for the fdroidserver, which didn't include the latest gradle hashes. All has been resolved though!

Update: there's a slight blocker. I'll need to address #12.

Hey again @c33s! Thanks a lot for the patience here.

Alright, so I improved open source support and the PR is ready for review on F-Droid: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/merge_requests/21665

The recent changes address all their suggestions, including the minor ones, so we should be good to go very soon!

I'm sorry but there's likely going to be more of a delay here.

There's a bug (#39) that might prevent it from being added, until the bug is fixed.

I'll continue working on this, but it's a little lower on the priority list right now.

It sounds insane saying that, but this app is not used in a disaster zone right now. Meanwhile, we have something we're building that is more needed right now in an active war zone.
