It was shared on the fediverse 2 days ago. Now, we get this. I don’t want to assume malice, but something seems fishy.

Fortunately, it’s still available on fdroid. This is one of the reasons you should get your apps from fdroid instead of play store.

yes, but getting updates weeks later isn’t for everyone.

There’s sometimes third party repos that are updated faster. Or you can use obtainium and get updates straight from github.

Downloading from github defeats the whole point of getting free software. Fdroid builds are guaranteed to not include any non-free components. The same is not true for github builds.

Yeah, updates can be a tad slow. For fast moving apps like newpipe its understandable. For regular apps it should be fine.

Absolutely. Fdroid is awesome.

I hate the fact that there’s no simple, free, ad-free note-taking app either inbuilt or on the app store. Just something simple and local to take a quick shopping list or a name or something like that. Fdroid has me covered for that.

I just checked a couple of the editors I use, and this has been the only one that’s offline first and no tracking - Markor:

I haven’t used it a lot but it’s been fast and easy to use.

? Google has Keep. It’s whacky but it definitely has one and I think it comes pre-installed with base Android.

Haven’t looked into good FOSS alternatives on F-Droid yet.

I use obsidian works very well very simple and can be very complicated depending on what you want to do

I just set up Obsidian with Syncthing like so many Lemmy users recommend and it is totally awesome! I also love that I can theme it differently on my phone, tablet, laptop, and computer.

I’ve been trying out Markor on Fdroid and I like it.

I’d prefer local storage over cloud storage for quick silly things like that.
