I asked #GD2, but she has not yet responded. Anyone have ideas?
Is there some software (preferably in #F-Droid) that can be used? -

When you use #F-Droid to install programs for #Android, you honor his memory and hers. -

In the process, the upstream used to produce the #miniVector client was disrupted, so that client is discontinued. #Pattle's developer also decided to discontinued it.
I'll have to look around #F-droid to see what else is available. -

The reason I posted is that people think that #F-Droid will step in and rescue apps that #Google #Play_Store bans, but history shows that is not the case. -

I found the app in #F-droid, so I installed it, but it took years before it actually worked on any of my devices. Then, once I finally got it working, I found a directory in which most of the links were dead ... there was no longer a site there. -

It is convenient to view the help / API docs for various scripting languages. -

None for me, thank you. I see the kinds of garbage that gets into the #Google #Play_Store. I’d rather rely on a few motivated #F-Droid maintainers to inspect and package the software on my devices than your auto-scan software.
(BTW, let me emphasize again that #de-google is NOT ENOUGH. #DecentraLife ... I want to remove not just Google from my life, but all #corpocentric gatekeepers.) -

I don't think they're ready for real-world use yet. -

#F-droid lists the follwing antifeature: "Tracking - The app connects to xabber.com on every start even if "send errors and debug info" is disabled. -

I guess that means it is abandoned? Is the Play version (Firefox Focus) similarly vulnerable, or is there just no current maintainer? -

Likewise for #iOS ... I tried DuoLingo, but the gamification and resulting frequent notifications felt like harassment (not to mention my not being interested in creating the membership that it often pushed for). I deleted it. -

There would sometimes be a notification about failed updates. Closing #F-Droid and reopening it, redownloading the updates works. For some reason, trying to open updates from the notification was broken. -

Uwe Hermann (uwehermann)'s status on Saturday, 22-Dec-2018 17:13:30 UTC Uwe Hermann If you're using Android on some phone or tablet and you're not using #fdroid yet, do yourself a favor and install it.
It's an alternative appstore with purely OSS software apps. Overall improved security and privacy on your mobile device (alternative apps for pretty much everything are available, with reduced tracking, no ads, no backdoors, reproducible builds, and so on).
