Damn, how did I even manage to miss that Simple apps have been bought off? I've used them for years and am still subscribed to the reddit community...
Some people suggest the action could possibly be deemed illegal, by breaking the licence the project was made under.

Fossify has many of them, Gallery, Files and Calendar (the main ones) are already on F-Droid!
Its sad that the community did not donate enough. People dont care...
I haven't used this, but it seems to do way more than the average person know how to use for an SMS app
Even in the readme, it says:
It just works as an SMS app with possible AES encryption.
To add to this, Fossify just released their phone app. It hasn't hit the repos yet, but it's on their github.
fcitx on Android is a pretty good keyboard experience now too.
Can you explain what that is and how it works? Is it a Keyboard with Plugins?
more or less yes, but im not too familiar with the project. I was just looking for a FOSS keyboard with completion support. I know it has good support for plugins to use latin characters to write characters in other writing systems, like pinyín
Over the years there have been a few times I tried to communicate with the developer, and he was always arrogant.
yeah tibor was known for that
