Looking for co-maintainers
The project is looking for co-maintainers. Some of the open tasks are:
- Periodically update translations from Crowdin
- Improve Google Play store listing
- Monitor crash reports on Google Play
- Moderate bug reports
I'd be willing to do some of that (I only speak English though, so no translations) Could you email me some more details?
Hi Michael,
thanks for your interest. Do you have experience with building Android Apps with GitHub actions? The most urgent contribution for the project would be setting up some CI for the PRs and auto-publishing master to the Play store Alpha track. It's quite a bit of overhead building a new release at the moment as it involves:
- Build translations on Crowdin
- Download translations and integrate in code
- Update versions in Manifest etc
- Build (and before update Android Studio, as I don't use it too often)
- Upload to Play Store
- Create release with release notes etc etc
Would be awesome if we could integrate all this in GitHub actions.
Kind regards, Adam
I don't have much experience with github actions, but I'll work on it. And in the meantime, I would just manually build it like you have been doing. But I could most likely make a batch script for automating the translation process. I do have experience with android apps, though. msiejak.dev
@msiejak Then please go ahead and create pull-requests with translation updates from Crowdin. I have a script in the repo that used to fetch and extract the new translations - but not sure it is still functional.
For me automating the the build and release process would be the greatest help - for me it's always >1h of work to get out a new release. That's why it does not happen very often ;)
Update: Automated the build and release to beta track on Google Play. Still looking for someone to
- Create releases
- Update translations from Crowdin
Hi I'm interested in contributing to this project, I have experience on developing Android apps and publishing them.I also have worked with GitHub actions for running a cron job to update database. I have few ideas on how we can improve this app And coming to transalations, I have not worked on it.
@intellis-dev That sounds great! We are open to new ideas for improving the app. In particular, I think the usability (UI/UX) of the app could be improved e.g. instead of context menu, navigate to a new summary/editing page that allows execution of all actions.
Regarding translations, the only thing we need, is someone proof-reading the translations on Crowdin and then creating a PR with the updated translations.
@butzist Can we connect and discuss about this and when we are going to start development
@butzist I'm interested in maintaining build related code and improving CI and CD.
I'd be willing to take a look and see if I would be of any help to you- No guarantees but I'm always up for helping with a fellow developer on a project. I don't even mind handling the writing/ README, XMLs, ymls, Wikis, or responding to bug or issue tickets... my point being, I don't have to be "in the center limelight" or wired in with my own code "improvements" let alone elbowing in for credit on the contribution pages etc...
Mike or MJ btw, shhh🤫 I go by Cujo on the net ...
I'll check out your launcher now and see what I see! ✌🏾

Hi @cujoXavier,
atm the biggest help would be if someone would review the translations on crowdin and create PRs with updates.
Hi Adam, Sorry for the late response, been a busy weekend. Sure thing, translations, & PRs w/updates [✓] I'll get started on it tonight, it's still early-ish- EDT 11PM, and I'll carve out a block of time for tomorrow afternoon as well.
Hey @AbhiTheModder , it is kind of running in maintenance mode - ie updating to new API versions and accepting PRs. But for the time being no new features from me.
Hi @butzist, can you add Traditional Chinese in Crowdin Project? I can help translate.
@Kaitul Sure, can do. Next time please create a separate issue for such requests.
