At the time of writing Summit for Lemmy should be completely open source.

After a lot of contemplation I've decided to open source the app. There are still some changes that probably need to happen before it can be considered "FOSS" but this is a huge step I think.

As I'm voiced my opinions on this previously, the main repository for Summit will not be to the public for PRs. If you encounter bugs or have any feature requests please continue to send them through the proper channels (ideally to this community).

Enjoy~~

Going open-source was the biggest single factor in immediately swaying me over here from Thunder (well, it was really the multi-community feed feature, but closed-source is what held me back). Thanks for being transparent!

This is so weird... why are there two posts with the same information oO. I must have accidentally double clicked or something.

Kudos! Going from being the best Lemmy-app to being even better is an accomplishment in itself

Thank you so much!! Summit is a wonderful client but I've been keeping an eye in the other open source clients hoping to switch. Now I'll stay with Summit.

I appreciate you being clear about not accepting PRs. I've never run an OSS project but I know it can be full of stress to manage a community. But having the source available gives me the confidence that if you ever get bored and move on, a community can develop to continue the project.

Thanks again for all your hard work and building a great piece of software!! 😃

You need to add some info about your app in readme xd

Not sure if it's been done already, but your sentry token is still visible in the latest commit, you should probably revoke it

Yeah i did lol. I had a .gitignore rule for it. But I was trying to see if a specific gradle command would require the API key so I moved it to a subfolder. However I did the move in Android Studio and Android Studio updated the .gitignore rule so it ignored the file in the new folder. After I was done testing I moved the file back to the root folder. For some reason Android Studio did not change the gitignore rule back. That was annoying...

didn't know Android studio changed the gitignore file reference, that's good to know. Good to see it's already resolved, I just wanted to make sure you were aware
