Distribute on F-Droid

[RasheedAZ]

Hi. Thanks for making this beautiful app.

Would it be possible to submit it to F-Droid for inclusion?

Hi! Thanks for the suggestion.

I took a look since it has been a while since I looked into F-Droid, and it seems they do support building Flutter apps now, so it should be possible. 🎉
