We all saw in the news that Simple Mobile Tools got acquired by ZipoApps and they started filling up the free apps with ads.

Luckily, being those apps open source, a new fork has been created.

It's called Fossify. They forked all the apps on GitHub and they have a new maintainer.

Now we just need to wait for their first official release and then... we need to spread the word and make people switch from the old SMT apps to Fossify!

I know he paid for the domain name already, but Fossify is a horrible name, it really does need to change to something else.

why do you dislike the name? I like it actually!

[-] CosmicCleric@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Well for me personally it's because the name is not descriptive of what it does, but just what kind of software it is, license wise.

Basically, like if someone named a brand new car 'Costsmonae'.
