Hello, would you consider publishing the app on F-Droid please?

Hello. Yes, it is part of my plans, but lately due to time issues it has become complicated. However, I hope to be able to complete it in the next few days.

The app has been added to F-Droid :), although it will take a few days for it to be visible.

Hi, @mardous what's the difference b/w normal and fdroid?

Hi, @mardous what's the difference b/w normal and fdroid?

Basically, the APK marked as "fdroid" has been compiled by F-Droid and is the one available for download from that site. It is smaller in size because it does not contain any Firebase dependencies and the reason it is included here is so that the internal app update system can work on the F-Droid version.

The "normal" one is the preferred APK file for any non-F-Droid download.

I know this is dumb question. So that means "fdroid" ver is not signed by dev(you) right?

That's right, the "fdroid" version has been signed by F-Droid. Then manually downloaded and placed here so that the app's update system can detect the APK.
