F-Droid is an installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform. The client makes it easy to browse, install, and keep track of updates on your device.
Link currently only works in f-droid app
On my end it's not showing on F-Droid, yet.
And their site doesn't show a thing because it's currently under construction
I only see it from the IzzyOnDroid repo. Same with Fossify Calendar. Must be coming imminently
The new Calendar app is also on F-Droid now!
Edit: my bad, it's on Izzysoft, not F-Droid.
That's the gallery. I can't find the file manager in the official repo yet, but it is available in the izzysoft repo.
That's like, almost 100% identical to the Simple File Manager from Tibor Kaputa, why make a new one?
Simple File Manager (and the other associated apps) got bought by a company, so this is a fork by a long-time maintainer that keeps it FOSS
So are they going to repackage those apps and sell on the playstore? What's the purpose of buying open source apps? Or it's just to limit open source competition?
I think it's all speculation so far, but I've heard the company is an analytics one, so it's likely to try to sell user data
Did you update the F-droid repositories? I was able to install it a minute ago.
Edit. I always mess replies on Voyager, this was for @FreshLight@sh.itjust.works
Its not, its a fork of the simple mobile tools suite that just got bought by an advertising company. This new maintainer forked the codebase of all the apps and is maintaining the foss version from here on out so we're not stuck with ads and malware injected into the apps we use.
