Idk why I never heard of this one before but it got an update recently so it appeared in my Droid-ify feed and now I’m sharing it. Hopefully someone finds it useful.

    you probably heard of “simple dialer”. Fossify apps are forks of simple (because simple is sold to an advertisement company)

    long story short 👆

      Real sad what happened there.

      Yes, I get that people need to eat, but goddamn it man THERE ARE OTHER WAYS TO GET MONEY THAN SELLING OUT.

          On a side note, if anyone uses Omnivore, I discovered yesterday that they have sold out as well (to an AI startup). We got a 2 weeks notice to export our stuff because accounts will be deleted.

          Details here

          I don’t believe that the lack of a warning was an honest mistake. 😉

          Best we can do is remember the name “Tibor Kaputa” and avoid his apps that might pop up in the future. 🕳

      Damn, I didn’t know! When did that happen? By the way, I’ve just noticed that the Simple apps haven’t been updated for about a year.

        Fdroid version is old because their newer versions are not open source anymore. So don’t use them

          Oh, so theycve abandoned the open source version :( I’m switching all my simple apps to Fossify.

            export from simple, import to fossify

            at least the switch is easy :)
