This is just lazy reasoning, really. Android has sandboxed per-app internal storage/database persistence. If that's not good enough, you have the hardware-backed keystore and you can require the user to unlock e.g. a decryption ke

There's a reason GitHub is the de facto host for OSS projects, I'd posit that open source maintainers who deliberately choose an unconventional host like GitLab already increase the barrier to contributions (not just due to netw
