RE: toot.fedilab.app/@apps/1169814…

There are three ways to get #Fedilab beta releases:

- The beta channel on Google Play, by opting in from the app description
- #FDroid through our custom repo fdroid.fedilab.app
- The APK attached to the release notes

PS: all these APKs are signed by me. If you have an F-Droid version, you first need to export your data in settings, remove the app (due to the signature mismatch), install, then import your previous data from the login page. Everything will be restored immediately.

#Fedilab 3.43.0-beta-1 has been published in the dev channel. This release now targets Android 16, which is why I'm releasing it as a beta first.

To beta testers: could you check that you don't have any layout issues with this version? Thanks!

Offline Translator

An Android translator app that performs text, PDF/ODT documents and image translation completely offline using on-device models.
Supports automatic language detection and transliteration for non-latin scripts. There's also a built-in word dictionary.

When I started building with React Native and Expo, it became much harder to write the recipe to be available on #FDroid.

#CastLab was my first one, with the help of maintainers. The last build of #HolosSocial failed (it happens with Expo upgrades). An F-Droid maintainer warned me first on my repo. Before I could act, they made the changes to the recipe so new builds were possible, and silently closed the issue.

Just a thank you to the #FDroid team, they help users and devs alike!


Recently I told you about the offline translator available on #FDroid.
f-droid.org/packages/dev.david…
Currently, translating opens the translator app. The idea is to keep everything inside #Fedilab: the translated text comes straight back into the post, so you never leave the app. You do not even notice it used another app in the background. It is already done in #HolosSocial, and I will add it to Fedilab.


Messed around with an older Kindle Fire tablet this weekend, and stumbled-discovered you can side-load #fdroid through the Silk Browser. From there, you can install any of #deltachat, #ironfox, #orbot, #comaps,... even #supertuxcart

Installing apps through #AuroraStore is hit-or-miss, where the 'misses' are very informative: #firefox & #fennec must have hooks to Google Play Services, because they immediately crash upon opening in FireOS.


That's a great app with very good translations.

Another well running and integrated is Translate You:

#Fedilab #HolosSocial #Android #FDroid #OfflineTranslator


#Fedilab and #HolosSocial allow using the offline translator for #Android, and the app is available on #FDroid.
I would like to encourage every F-Droid user to use it and enable it in Fedilab.

f-droid.org/packages/dev.david…

I will improve both apps to capture the translation and go back, because their app allows it.

#OfflineTranslator


More than 200k users said NO!

More than 70 organisations signed a letter saying NO!

#FDroid wrote posts on why NOT!

We've talked with you and your representatives, around the world.

We've made the #KeepAndroidOpen website to explain it.

If you read the #Android tech news, you saw it.

If you use a search engine, you found it.

If you've asked their own #Gemini, you got the summary.

But who didn't see, hear or read anything from above? Yes, #Google

RE: mastodon.social/@HolosSocial/1…

The #HolosSocial relay is now ready for an official prod release. Users might have noticed better responsiveness from it.

The app is already available on #AltStore for iOS, and will be on the #PALStore. It is available with the apk, ipa and all the desktop files on the website and #Codeberg. It is also on #FDroid, but releases are stuck on 1.8.1, which I will fix.

Publishing on the big stores like Google Play or the App Store is not my goal.
