Oddbean new post about login | logout Hope you fund an Android native app. We really need one :(
🥲 I know. I have more free time now so I want to get back to this soon.
There are compilation errors at the code lines where autocorrections are being disabled as per the recent changes. Search Home View & Add Relay View.
Android native is overrated. It will get banned on the Play Store. Then it's either side loading or progressive web apps. My bet is on the latter for now, especially for iPhone, where side loading is hard.
It has to exist before it can get banned.
Why should Nostr apps be banned when Signal and Mastadon clients have been on these stores for years?
Signal is not broadcast. Mastodon, ... well, I would argue it's censoring more than Twitter.
Sideloading on android is incredibly easy and common. fdroid has a lot of usage and it would be good distribution channel for something like this.
It's easy but still, Play Store has more than 1000x the reach of FDroid. It's friction to ask the user to enable developer mode etc.
Not debating that, just saying you don't need to hack your phone to use f-droid, contrary to iOS. Also, if Google really went full dystopian and started censoring bitcoin or nostr apps, most users would quickly learn to use f-droid, no doubt.
