I know its new, so am I to lemmy, but I was curious if there is any plans to release Sync Ultra outside of the Play Store.
The features sound awesome and want to support lemmy but not everyone has Google Play/iOS.
An option like threema has to buy a license key and download the .apk would be ideal and I’d be all aboard!
I feel like the pool of Lemmy users who are willing to use a closed source app but not use the play store has to be incredibly small.
I feel there are a lot of custom rom users here which don’t have play services built-in or its hard to implement
Yeah, but I feel like those people are mostly going to gravitate towards FOSS clients
I’ve been asking for this for a while.
Yeah, makes sense. Even if there was an option to buy the lifetime and download I would. But its a valid point it’d be too easy for people to share it then.
Thats why I think a licensing method would be best, like Threema has. You can download the app but can’t use it without a license key. Even still, it would be a lot of work.
Just disappointed I can’t support it, but its also my decision to not have the play store 🤷

I would also love to see a non Google play version of Sync.
