Yeah, I missed that. Added.
This seems very neat, will be watching the progress. The beta rn is pretty glitchy but its not even released yet.
Hopefully, by the time it gets an fdroid release it will be slightly stable.
Interestingly, he says no vivo phones supported.
I get that vivo phones aren't supported, but the energy and messaging is very off here. "Vivo - no, lol" "open an issue or buy pixel".
There's no need to be a condescending dick to your users, you can just write "phones with aggressive task managers might kill the app and break updates".
Plus I don't think anybody sane is "buying pixel" just to access a widget app. π
I chalked that to language barrier and not necessarily the app creator being a dick. There's not enough activity to make an informed choice. So, will defer that until we see more.

Not necessarily a widget app but apps in general. I haven't had issues with samsung or realme FWIW.
I have a Xiaomi, which typically is on the bad list of "dontkillmyapp" but with a bit of knowledge and care I've had zero issues.
You just have to know not to let the phone kill apps if you don't want them killed π€·ββοΈ but I guess many users can't understand that.
- Please avoid redistribution on "free and open source android app repositories" π’π¦
that is a red flag to me
Yes, I read that. Maybe, he does not want the app from others on fdroid and just from him.
The license is GPL 3 so cannot legally stop you from Redistribution. Hopefully, fdroid gets a build from him. Otherwise, this app may be a no go for many people.
If the license is GPL3, how is he even able to say to avoid redistribution?
Like...why should i listen to what they're saying if they have no legal right to say it?
Maybe, he does not know that. Someone can open an issue to inform them about that. Anyway, you can choose not to.
But, fdroid may not list the app, if you fork and try to publish with your name.
