Hey all! Mindblown to see this on Hot haha. Plenty more updates coming as i learn more kotlin and get more familiar with the codebase.

Feel free to ask any Qs!

Any chance you'll get it uploaded to F-Droid? I really like the extra confidence of an independent third-party scan and reproducible build.

I asked this further down but what kind of developments can we expect in the future?

[-] octoshrimpy@sh.itjust.works 13 points 9 months ago

I use it as my daily driver, and will continue pushing updates as long as I can. There are a lot of outstanding issues, and I'm using this project to learn Kotlin, so definitely plan on more updates and maybe even sms encryption like partisan sms

Is there an F-Droid repository for the app by chance? I've been struggling to find it.

[-] Evkob@lemmy.ca 14 points 9 months ago

AFAIK it's not available via any F-Droid repo.

I just use Obtainium. I understand some people prefer F-Droid to avoid any proprietary blobs in the builds of their apps, but you could simply track F-Droid repos through Obtainium and use GitHub/other sources for the apps not available on any repo.

Dont exists. yet (?).

I use this app because @evkob@lemmy.ca suggest it a while times ago

I was on qksms for ages way back, it was the first to have reply in notifications, what is it's selling point now?

I think I swapped to Textra or some other rip of qksms when it floundered on updates and now I'm Google messages because it was on the phone when signal pulled support.

I ended back on the vendor messages app, too, when every other FOSS option failed to manage group messages correctly. The worst was one that looked fine on my end, but to everyone else in the group it looked like I was sending out 1:1 messages to each of them. This particular group it a mix of Android and iOS users, and the Android users saw it funky, too, so it wasn't just an Apple thing.

I guess SMS messaging is just a lot harder to get right than most.
