Do you have experience with #Flatpak? Then we need your help!

We want to package #Repomaker as #Flatpak to make it easier for people to install. We already have a running flatpak and are only missing the final bits. Any help is highly appreciated!

See "Packaging Repomaker as Flatpak" for more information: https://forum.f-droid.org/t/f-droid-roles/4202

#Briar is an unusual kind of messenger for Android devices: there are no servers, messages are stored on your phone and sent directly to your contact's phone through TOR, wi-fi or bluetooth.

It's designed for journalists, activists, people working in disaster zones and anyone interested in "off the grid" communication.

The official site is here:

https://briarproject.org

The app is free, open source and available through @fdroidorg and Google Play.

Can anyone recommend a code editor for the Android platform? Prefer something on @fdroidorg if possible.

KDE Connect developers are back with more features, more goodies and more improvements so that you can better integrate your mobile with your desktop.

@Privacymatters

Rather use the #Exodus App from #FDroid or the Exodus Website:
https://exodus-privacy.eu.org/
#Yalp Store also scans all apps for trackers using the Exodus service.

OK, jetzt sind alle @exodus bekannten Tracker erfasst (nicht nur die, welche auch Appbrain kennt). Ergebnis: kleine Sprünge in der Statistik. Jetzt gibt es u.a.

- 1 App mit 20 Trackern*
- 2 mit 19, 18, 17
- 8 mit 16
- 18 mit 15
- 36 mit 14
- 45 mit 13 …
- 1123 mit 3 …
- 60% mit 1+L

Wohlgemerkt nur von den 14k Apps in meinen Listen. Und das sind nur *Tracker, die mir als invasiv bekannt sind – da können also durchaus auch weit mehr verbaut sein …

Sad that there is no Twitch client on @fdroidorg
I found TD in archive but it is old and has issues. Than there is https://github.com/SebastianRask/Pocket-Plays-for-Twitch but not on F-Droid because of google and other tracking librarys. I tried to remove them but had issues without the libs. Maybe others can help?

If you are interested in examining the privacy implications of Android apps, there is google chrome extensions Exodus Privacy is a great tool. For example, it reveals these 19 trackers in Deezer and 9 trackers in Spotify (it seems you are tracked even if you pay €€€)

@fdroidorg Could you please suggest the best and reliable bitcoin wallet on Android?
