Description

Hey there, interesting app!

I saw that it is only available on F-Droid, while F-Droid allows developers to sign apps themselves if they build reproducibly.

That means less trust in F-Droids infrastructure, faster updates and full transparency that this source code has led to this APK.

Would be fantastic to make the app build reproducibly!

(Nearly all vibecoded apps with Claude commits are reproducible, so can't be that hard)

Research direction

Start by reading the linked F-Droid Reproducible Builds guidance and examining how this Android app is built for F-Droid. Identify what prevents independent APK builds from matching; done means the app builds reproducibly and the result can be verified through F-Droid's process.
