F-Droid

This is open source at its best: the original developer somehow decided to sell out to the dark side and someone rescued the projects within a couple of days. Brillant!

And thank goodness for that too: I used SMT Calendar but Etar misses a couple of features I really need that would make it a good replacement, so I'll be sure to install FossifyX Calendar as soon as F-Droid picks it up.

I'm certainly rooting for Naveen and wishing him the best of luck. Hopefully he can make the apps his own and take them to new heights, it helps that they're all pretty much feature complete.

That sucks, I used to use them.

Just read the entire thread. This is sad. I was about to recommend the contacts app to my Dad, glad I didn't.

There is also another fork for the contacts app called Simple Contacts Pro SE by Stephan Ritscher.

That's nice to see though I changed my apps after the developer endorsed that shit phone that was quickly abandoned.

The tl;dr is someone went to him with a cheap Chinese phone that they then marked up a few hundred percent. Pre-installed SMT apps and marketed it as privacy centric, de-googled, free range, etc. When he was called out on it he doubled down. There isn't a link to it on his site anymore, but this is it https://simplephone.tech/eu/

Tibbi has not updated his blog to say he sold out, nor his Reddit sub. The only confirmation from him is a short response on GitHub. This is totally on brand for them.

Gimme new Play Store links kthxbye.

Is there a remindme bot on Lemmy?

!remindme: 2 days.

Thanks for the heads up. I don't use these apps as much as I used to but I always appreciated that they exist.

that’s good, these tools have been abandoned and unusable on chromebooks ever since the switch to ARCVM.

Edit: I get the feeling that none of you know what ARCVM is.
