With simple messager selling out & qksms no longer being actively worked on. What’s our options for open source sms messagers?
Should I dedicate time to learning flutter and building my own or does anyone know any cool foss projects working on this issue?
I use QUIK. It’s pretty minimalist and quite nice to use.
QUIK is a fork of QKSMS but updated. Partison SMS is another fork
Where can these be found?
Both can be found in GitHub. I use Obtainium to get QUIK releases.
obtainuim looks really useful for keeping these updated, but is there a reason they aren’t just on f-droid? until now I thought that was considered the norm or standard for open source android apps
F-Droid either requires app developers to set up their own repository (and point users to them) or to follow the F-Droid repo rules (the F-Droid devs compile and sign your app, not you)
