This app track down the download or media playing progress and show progress bar around punch line camera or in notification bar. Pretty handy for people who download content or listen to music a lot.

    Yep, I really want to fight android SDK again. Just release it on fdroid like other open source projects.

        That has nothing to do with the topic, you’re right, I could’ve put it more nicely. I’m just tired of “compile it yourself” to people without computers being considered an appropriate answer for a criticism of bad distribution. This app seems wonderfully useful and could have huge popularity, but it’s being artificially gatekept by the creator.

          It’s not being gatekept, they’re saying that as an alternative. They said they would release it on F-Droid tomorrow.

          Edit: or… Create an issue on the GitHub repo, idk.

          Edit2: Never mind

      Wow, the entitlement of “I don’t want to do things myself, do extra work for me instead”.

        Wow the entitlement of “I refuse to understand that not everyone has a computer and can do this”

          Ok, sure. I recognize that not everyone has a computer. And sure, an F-droid release would be really helpful for those people, if “build it yourself” was the only way to get the app.

          But … It’s not like the app is inaccessible. It’s on the play store. You can install it.

          My main frustration is the outright demand for the project creator to “Just release it on F-Droid” - Something that requires the creator to get familiar with F-droid and do the extra leg-work to release it there. But … It’s an open source app, created for free by someone who wanted to create it. They owe you nothing. Not even “good distribution”.

            Cant install it on phones without play store, which is not a small number. The additional issue you’re skirting is that he is trying to limit release channels. I can’t simply clone his work and set it up on an automated distro channel like I could other open source projects, per his specific requests. So yeah I’m going to be demanding a little more than an app that isnt trying to enforce sharing channels.
