F-Droid becomes more and more popular.

  Came here to suggest publishing the app on F-Droid as it is FOSS. An alternative is make a PWA instead of an app. Those cannot be banned by an 'App Store' (read: walled garden with one lunatic dictator being the gardener).

    PWA = Progressive Web App ---"progressive" seems to mean it uses some relatively recent additions to browsers to make the app feel more like a native app. (In case others didn't know either.)

      "Progressive" in this case means it uses progressive enhancement: it'll work even if your browser doesn't have those additions (though QoL won't be as nice), and it also uses responsive design such that it's just as useful on desktop as on mobile. The new Twitter is a good example of a PWA.

        Viewing mostly on desktop, I hate the new twitter and wish the old one was back. It's a bunch of javascript moving things around instead of a plain old web page (how is twitter's content complex enough that it can't just be static html?), and due probably to some combination of privacy settings i have usually says "There has been an error try again" when i follow a link to a tweet, requiring me to hard-refresh the page (at which point it works). So if that's a good example...
