Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

Add jerboa to accrescent? (accrescent.app)

I recently became aware of the Accrescent app store after reading this article: https://privsec.dev/posts/android/f-droid-security-issues/. It's still in alpha, so it might make sense to wait for it to mature before adding jerboa, but I think it'd be good to have jerboa on there eventually

Izzyondroid already exists, works with every f-droid client, and has hundreds of developer built and signed apps. How is this different?

Quite frankly I don't know, hopefully someone else can chime in with more info? If I had to guess maybe something to do with security, but idk with certainty

edit after a quick search, from somone who claimed to be a dev in the comments here: "Apps don't need to be open-source, split APKs are fully supported, metadata verification is more robust, (unattended) unprivileged updates are supported in the official client, and (in my opinion - you may read the docs for yourself) Accrescent has more strict quality control requirements."

IzzyOnDroid only offers 32-bit versions for some applications (well, universal ones in some applications if the size is small enough but still does not makes sense if your device is 64-bit imo).

There's only 11 apps on there. I've had it installed for quite a while, but it's still not much of anything yet.

Not yet, all the more reason to talk about it and help it gain traction with the devs of the apps I use
