Description
### Before you submit
- [x] I have searched the issue tracker for [open](https://github.com/Droid-ify/client/issues) and [closed](https://github.com/Droid-ify/client/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclosed) issues that are similar to the feature request I want to file, without success.
- [x] I'm not requesting app support for a specific repo — that's up to repo maintainers
- [x] I understand this might not get built (Droid-ify is maintained by a single person)
### What's the problem?
Hello, as you probably know google [announced](https://developer.android.com/developer-verification) enrolling mandatory developer verification for all installed apk (even those which are installed outside of playmarket). Practically rendering android as very unfree OS. In response to that emerged "[Keep Android Open](https://keepandroidopen.org/)" initiative. If it resonates with you and your goals, please support it and spread the word.
### What would help?
For more info look at their site https://keepandroidopen.org/ but here is a short list of what you can do:
* Spread the word between your users
* Add in app banner for example [how fdroid did](https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidclient/-/merge_requests/1617)
* Add banner to your site https://keepandroidopen.org/banner/
* Add banner to your projects page [like this](https://github.com/offa/android-foss) or [even this](https://github.com/dustdfg/dustdfg/blob/master/README.md)
* Share on social media [like fdroid did on their mastodon](https://floss.social/@fdroidorg/116086115016017602)
* Sign the letter https://keepandroidopen.org/open-letter/
* Let Google know you disagree with it
### Alternatives?
