VLC on Android isn't a good choice for playing audiobooks. It loses a few seconds when trying to change playback speed. Also, it doesn't understand a folder of audio files as one book.

I switched to AudioAnchor from F-Droid. It doesn't suffer from the above two issues. However, it expects a folder for each book, even if it's a single file.

I have a Syncthing folder for Audiobooks now, holding only the current ones.

Tibor Kaputa spends his days developing the Simple range of apps for Android-based OS and makes them available free of charge on F-Droid. I use a bunch of them and they're fantastic. Please consider trying out his apps and making a contribution to support his work:

What about providing a #Fdroid compatible repo for the betas? This would ease and encourage users testing #Thunderbird/k-9. In the long run it can be useful for you for providing betas, previews, etc.

If you're new to UnifiedPush, the easiest way to get started is to install the 'ntfy' app (available on #fdroid and #googleplaystore) and open it once.

Then, any apps that support UnifiedPush ( unifiedpush.org/users/apps/ ) will be able to use UnifiedPush once the apps are restarted!

Einkbro is a seriously good tablet browser

I just need to mention it again.

This is an Android browser aimed at E-Ink devices (though it works for any Android device). It's optimised foir E-Ink's strengths and weaknesses.

That actually makes it a really good browser for reading content online, which ... it turns out a whole hell of a lot of present-generation mobile browsers kind of suck at.

The developer's also highly responsive and I've seen a few of my own issues and requests addressed, which is a breath of fresh air. Oh, and it's FOSS.

Great to see you around the Fediverse 🥳
And I'm looking forward to see #Thunderbird on Android

However, I think that @Ahorn and @fuomag9 have raised two important points that I'd like to second:
Please plan to publish your app via #FDroid right from the start - and include encryption via #PGP and #SMIME

Oh - and just drop the word here when you start looking for beta testers 😊

Anyone got an experience with using the various Telegram clients available in @fdroidorg ? I can see three options, all compatible with my ancient Android (6.x); Forkgram, Telegram FOSS, and Nekogram X, all of which were updated within the last month. No idea how compatible they are, or how fast they run on older hardware.

The last version of #ntfy is a #unifiedpush distributor ! It will soon reach the @fdroidorg store. It is easy to use - just install it - and easy to self-host if you want to.

And now, #keyoxide is live on #fdroid 🥳

f-droid.org/packages/org.keyox…

Wow ! The @keyoxide app looks nice ! I can't wait to see it on #FDroid !

codeberg.org/keyoxide/keyoxide…

Busy week for #keyoxide but at least we can show off new stuff!

📣 As of today, there's a Keyoxide Android app 🎉

It's a client much like the website (so no key editing just yet…) and will allow you to verify identities in pretty much the same way: copy-paste a fingerprint or email address and voilà!

And soon supporting QR code scanning for easier input!

Also in the process of putting on #fdroid !

Big 👏👏👏 for our very own @Seferi who developed it!
