[–] true_espionage@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

[–] ConditionOverload@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

Man I've been checking the Play Store every single day to see if it's available to download! I'm so excited!

[–] AstralWeekends@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago

Exciting to see!

[–] toolCHAINZ@infosec.pub 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Just want to say how good it felt to open up sync again and see my cat photos! You're a hero, LJ!

[–] Vlixz@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Feels just like home >⁠.⁠<

[–] WeirdAlex03@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I see a lot of issues there already, is it available for download now? I haven't gotten the email yet and I don't see it on the Play Store

[–] Lord_Logjam@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's an alpha release with only 100 testers at this stage.

And I wasn't invited? :(

[–] ljdawson@lemmy.world 53 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Sorry only 100 internal testers until Google fully approve. Gives me chance to fix some of the issues raised though!

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 years ago

No worries! I'm just thrilled to see it's coming along nicely. I'm not going anywhere.

[–] fuzzzerd@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

After Google approval, what is the size of the tester pool?

[–] debeluhar@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

There is only a limit of 100 testers in internal testing. Other channels (Closed testing, open testing and production) doesn't have any limit at all, but every update of app needs Google approval, which can take some time. Also, Google needs to approve post of the app (title, description, icons, etc...) even without uploading an app which can also take some time. Source: I'm developer (not of this app of course)

[–] fuzzzerd@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

Had the same thought. Glad it's not just me.

[–] forksandspoons@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I guess its just a limited release rn for beta testers or something like that ?

[–] GingeyBook@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Let me innnnn

[–] eco@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago (2 children)

From Discord:

Tomorrow is the google play signup form for everyone else (pending google approving it)

[–] big_slap@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

oh hell yeah

[–] GingeyBook@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Discord link? I can't seem to find it anywhere

[–] cory_lowry@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

At the moment, yes

[–] OtakuAltair@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

Oh my god, okay it's happening. Everybody stay calm!

[–] itadakimasu@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Ahhhhh man I was traveling today and missed the sign up. The horrorrrrrrrrrrrr.

So excited

[–] approxamatrix@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Nice !

[–] atake@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Nice!

Will it be released to F-Droid at the same time as the Google Play store?

[–] somedaysoon@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sync is not open source and Fdroid only allows open source.

[–] cheerjoy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The main repo is open source only, but there are others

[–] somedaysoon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (13 children)

Adding other repos that have nothing to do with f-droid has nothing to do with f-droid... calling 3rd party repos f-droid just because you are able to add them to their app is disingenuous and shows a lack of understanding of what f-droid actually is.

F-Droid is an installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform.

That is the first sentence on their official site.

Has LJ said it'll run without Google Play? I certainly hope so.
