I made a simple timer app for Android, desktop, and browser. I think it’s ready for most part, and I’m starting to look into publishing it.

I decided to start with Android / Play Store, which immediately gives me a roadblock. Google Play Console says:

  • Have at least 20 testers opted-in to your closed test (1 tester currently opted-in)
  • Run your closed test with at least 20 testers, for at least 14 days

I want to look into F-Droid and Flathub once I have this sorted out. But before that, any opinions on the app, or volunteers for testing, as I don’t have 20 friends to ask?

Thanks.

    Don’t know about Google but you can set up your own F-Droid repository, and you can also prepare to try to get it to ship via the main F-Droid repository. And if you have releases on Github you can maybe ask to have it also included with IzzyDroid F-Droid repo https://android.izzysoft.de/intro.php

      Yeah, I think I won’t wait for the Play release to happen anymore because Google experience has been nothing but a bunch of hoops they want me to jump through.
