hate gitlab, it have all the problems of github + the worst ux I ever experienced.

It's also super slow.

nostr:npub1q3sle0kvfsehgsuexttt3ugjd8xdklxfwwkh559wxckmzddywnws6cd26p was it you who loved GitLab?

I love GitLab! But my only experience with it is the on-prem enterprise version

Yes, I prefer Freedom software. 😃

Agree. It's bad.

Wow. Its not only github thay has a liberal banning policy.

What the hell? Why? Wasn't it enough to say "no, we won't add Amber"?

Anything bitcoin-related is extremely toxic in certain circles.

To be honest I think it was some automated thing that banned me because of the fdroid build ci

Ah, hope so. Too easy to assume the worst in this space.

Ever considered Codeberg?

He only registered on gitlab so that he could submit his apps to fdroid

Gotcha. Didn't notice it was a larger thread. Thx

I was just yesterday reading on how to publish to F-Droid and disliked the gitlab account requirement.

zap.store at the moment also requires github but trying to remove it asap

Whut wtf....

Well, so be it, leave them to their destiny.

F-Droid will never become relevant anyway, and Gitlab is a useless service.

And nostr:npub10r8xl2njyepcw2zwv3a6dyufj4e4ajx86hz6v4ehu4gnpupxxp7stjt2p8 and Obtanium are better.

Apparently everything is back and request is merged.

Sorry to hear that.

What about the Google channels, any plans for adding there too? Would be ironic if Google accepted and Fdroid gets you banned 🙈

I tried but they force you to kyc and after publishing the app they show the full name and address for everyone.

They also ask for 20 active testers for 2 or 3 weeks before releasing an app

Wowza! Thats crazy, but I guess Im not shocked
