Thanks, haha. I'd love develop a Native App for it too but this is a zero-budget Project (aside from the Domain). PlayStore has a one-time fee so that's 25€ for Android + 8€/Month for the IOS AppStore just to have the App on there.
In theory, I could just have a downloadable .apk for Android to circumvent the fee but most people don't want to install a random .apk from the internet. And I'm not developing a Native App for like 3 people excluding myself (I'm an iPhone user).
Soo, yeah that'll probably not happen :(.
This post gathered a bit of traction. So hopefully more people help out. F droid is a better marketplace for oss compared to playstore because people downloading from playstore act entitles a little, especially towards oss software.
Would be nice for sure... 0 forks yet.. but I'm hopeful :D
You could've considered F-Droid.
It's sad. Anyway, good luck with future development!
Playstore console costs 25€? I paid only 5€ when i made my account
That's weird. Did a quick google and it does seem to be 25 USD. Last time I made one it were 25 for sure as well - but that one got banned due to inactivity D:
