It was shared on the fediverse 2 days ago. Now, we get this. I don’t want to assume malice, but something seems fishy.

Fortunately, it’s still available on fdroid. This is one of the reasons you should get your apps from fdroid instead of play store.

Absolutely. Fdroid is awesome.

I hate the fact that there’s no simple, free, ad-free note-taking app either inbuilt or on the app store. Just something simple and local to take a quick shopping list or a name or something like that. Fdroid has me covered for that.

Google Keep?

I’d prefer local storage over cloud storage for quick silly things like that.

Use one of the markdown apps

I’ve been trying out Markor on Fdroid and I like it.

I use obsidian works very well very simple and can be very complicated depending on what you want to do

dditty ,

I just set up Obsidian with Syncthing like so many Lemmy users recommend and it is totally awesome! I also love that I can theme it differently on my phone, tablet, laptop, and computer.

DarkThoughts ,

? Google has Keep. It's whacky but it definitely has one and I think it comes pre-installed with base Android.

Haven't looked into good FOSS alternatives on F-Droid yet.

yes, but getting updates weeks later isn’t for everyone.

limerod ,

Yeah, updates can be a tad slow. For fast moving apps like newpipe its understandable. For regular apps it should be fine.

vividspecter ,

There’s sometimes third party repos that are updated faster. Or you can use obtainium and get updates straight from github.

limerod ,

Downloading from github defeats the whole point of getting free software. Fdroid builds are guaranteed to not include any non-free components. The same is not true for github builds.

That just convinced me to download and try it lol

kraynyan ,

I’ve been using it for a good while and it’s solid! I just wish I could integrate traffic updates, somehow

DarkThoughts ,

Where are the advertised bike & hiking paths? I know OSM has layers of varying quality for that but I can't seem to find it in this app.

Am I crazy? I’m not seeing “Organic Maps” on Fdroid at all. Do I need to add a specific repo?

Edit: Okay yes. I had to include ‘other antifeatures’ which it did warn me about. I hadn’t adjusted that setting beyond the default and assumed I didn’t need to go enable those things.

cardboardchris ,

I noticed the same thing. It might be hidden due to anti-features. I found it on NeoStore.

vividspecter ,

It’s there for me. I’m using Droid-ify but it’s the official repo.

DarkThoughts ,

It's the better F-Droid client anyway, imo.

sunzu2 ,

You honestly to go into setting and turn on all anti features.

It will show up

praise_idleness ,

As always, fuck them. But too bad local OSM is basically unusable. I contribed a lot until I finally gave up. Meanwhile domestic proprietary map is basically killing off competition, including Google Maps.

Wow, I must have just snuck my install in…

Presumably this removal was accidental right?

dmtalon ,

So, why is organic maps hidden with the default anti features of f-droid? Which of these that have allowed my other installs does organic maps not comply with?

None of these look like something I’d want to turn off!

limerod ,

Non free network service. Organic maps uses the organic maps CDN to download maps. Which is not a free (free as in freedom) service.

You can read more here: gitlab.com/fdroid/…/app.organicmaps.yml

For more information on anti features read here: f-droid.org/en/docs/Anti-Features/

sunzu2 ,

Seems a bit silly. I think warning would work here.

Most people don't care IMHO and it ain't high risk lol

dmtalon ,

Thanks!

DarkThoughts ,

Droid-ify showed it for me, which imo is the superior F-Droid client anyway.

I haven’t heard of it before, but if Google bans it they must be doing something right.

I’ll check it out.

DarkThoughts ,

Same. Though I can't seem to find a way to show the advertised bike & hiking paths.

Artyom ,

Dang I really called it
