#Emacs is now available in #fdroid

And, surprisingly, it just ..works?

You can scroll buffers by touch scrolling and tapping a text buffer opens the keyboard.

The menu bar is finally useful because it pops out as a native menu.

This is trippy, this could almost be usable..

I'll have to get my config into this; I don't doubt it'd just work.

I would love to use it, but I've had some issues with getting it working with Termux. The author provides some builds that have the same signatures as Termux, along with instructions on setting up early-init.el here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/android-ports-for-gnu-emacs/ which I thought should resolve any issues. However, I've encounter issues with permissions and with interpreting certain paths (/usr/bin, /etc/ /usr/lib) which makes some features which execute commands fail on Emacs. I also get annoying warnings spamming the console like WARNING: linker: normalize_path - invalid input: "nil", the input path should be absolute. I'm kind of waiting until someone has a better solution for Termux integration.
