What are the requirements for deployment of f-droid Hubzilla-App? I would to start a crowdfunding campaign for development of f-droid Hubzilla-App. I also need financial framework for this Projekt. Can you tell me the approximate amount spent for #FDroidHubzillaApp -Project?
For my self is this job - the amount spent for #FDroidHubzillaApp -Project to tried to calculate is seem like an exercise in squaring a circle. I am no Hubzilla developer. I am no App-developer. I cann't estimate how much effort it. And I must provide one financial framework for #FDroidHubzillaApp freelancer. I hope, you !Zotlabs|Hubzilla Development can help me

I kludged together a front-end using the THUNKABLE app creator that works surprisingly well.

THUNKABLE is extensible enough that it appears it should be quite possible to do more in the app rather than just using it as a web front end. But for the purpose, it works quite well - and the fees for THUNKABLE are extremely reasonable. Might want to check it out.

Thunkable apps are supposed to work in both IOS and in Android (I only tested Android) - you can download the APK for your app, so it should be uploadable to FDROID. I tried to determine any "gotcha's" with dependencies or injected tracking and wasn't able to find any - doesn't mean they aren't there - I didn't look super hard - but it seems to be an honest attempt at an app building platform.

@M. Dent Fdroid doesn't allow apk uploads I think. They need to be reproducable builds on their server infrastructure.

About the App. Are we taking about a client app? What is exactly the problem with Nomad? There are also a few other Fediverse/twitter clients that work with Hubzilla via the twitter api 1.1 addon (with reduced functionality of course).

Or are you talking about a mobile server to get some sort of hybrid p2p working? You mentioned something line that in your other post.

Yes, with mobile server #HubzillaApp I'd like provide one central component for decentral p2p network.

@neue medienordnung plus developing such a hybrid app would be a bigger undertaking and probably require some changes to the core workings of Hubzilla as well. But it is true that the Zot protocol with its cloning functionality might be more suitable for something like that. Matrix.org has announced that they will present a prototype of a similar hybrid p2p on FOSSDEM next week.

@M. Dent thx for the hint, I'll take a look at thunkable

Matrix is an open source project run by the non-profit Matrix.org Foundation dedicated to building an open protocol and communication network for decentralised, encrypted communication - providing a viable open alternative to WhatsApp, Slack, Discord an other proprietary communication silos. In this talk we will show of the work we've been doing over the last year to shift Matrix from being a decentralised-server architecture to a fully decentralised-client p2p architecture, through running clientside homeservers and experimenting with libp2p and friends as a p2p transport. We'll also show the route we'll be following over the year to go from proof-of-concept to the live Matrix network.

Ah, i see... I haven't looked at their requirements. Sorry for any confusion.
