Are you planning to release the BangleJS Gadgetbridge Version on F-droid?

Hello Gordon, I was always a fan of the first BangleJS but didn't like the form factor and missed a touch screen.
When you launched BangleJS2 via Kickstarter, I immediately ordered one and was not disappointed. This is the smartwatch of my dreams: long lasting battery, GPS onboard, touchscreen, and an open source appstore. So first of all: Thank you very much for making this dream coming true 🥰🤩🤗
My second thanks goes to the community for their effort to create more than 300 apps after a couple of months and a still growing number of apps to come.

I'd like to ask if there is any plan to publish the BangleJS flavored Gadgetbridge Android App in the F-Droid store? I don't use the google play store and would prefer using a f-droid repo over sideloading the app. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any information about that in the forums or in the blog.
If I can support you, I would be happy to help, but unfortunately I'm the worst hacker I know and have absolutely no programming skills but am willing to learn.
Kind regards
Rene

There were a few posts about this (buried in this thread)

The current status is this:

• I've opened a PR for F-Droid.
  
• Building the Bangle.js flavored apk for F-Droid works fine
  
• The Gadgetbridge repo needs some changes to make F-Droid find the correct metadata (description/title/etc), which this PR adds
  
• F-Droid looks (I think...) at the latest release, so won't pick up those changes until Gadgetbridge tags a new version.
  
  

So these things should hopefully happen Soonish:

1. Merging of the Gadgetbridge PR
   
2. New Gadgetbridge release (after which F-Droid should find the updated metadata)
   
3. Merging of the F-Droid PR
   
4. Bangle.js flavored Gadgetbridge available in F-Droid store!
   

That sounds great, thanks for the hint to the other thread.
Unfortunately, I didn't find that thread via the forum search, so please excuse this additional thread. This thread can be closed now!

It happened: the Android companion app is now available on F-Droid!

Excellent - thanks for all your work on this! I'll update the http://www.espruino.com/Gadgetbridge docs - but let me know if you think it should be referenced elsewhere

This is simply awesome! Thank you so much for your work and all kudos to the community and especially to @Gordon for this incredible product. I still makes me smile every day I use it.

Wow, great! Back at last to not needing any apps from the play store :)
