Release Android app on F-Droid (and make it open-source)

[rugk]

It would be great to see the Android app on F-Droid!

F-Droid is an Android app store specifically for free/libre open-source apps. It would be great if your app could be released there, as it is the number one for getting FLOSS Android apps for many people.
F-Droid also builds all apps from source (optionally even reproducible), so downloads from there can be trusted.

The app developer FAQ or the quick start guide may help you to get started. You can e.g. setup a fastlane structure for your metdata (about the app), which helps getting this data into F-Droid.

BTW a release on F-Droid could also bring some (more) popularity (in case that is intended), as it will show up in the app (new apps are featured there).

If this is too much work, even just removing the restricting that it must be installed from the Play Store specifically would be a helpful start to make it available to those without it.

If I'm not mistaken, the Android app isn't open source, so I don't think it would be accepted by the official F-Droid repository.

Good point, but the iOS apparently is open-source, so what speaks against making the Android app open-source too?
