fastn [OPTIONS] <package_name>

Should be:

fastn [OPTIONS] [<package_name>]

(<package_name> is optional, and defaults to lets-os). How do we update our help text to make this clear?

I am focusing on running the current version as a GUI only app for mac and android. This part has a lot of unknowns (does fastn-core even compile for android/arm?) so it's better to do this first.

The android app is stil not working. It launches and shows the loading screen and the http server runs in the background. But, the server crashes with a stack overfllow when a request is received.

I guess it's the same issue or related to fastn not working in dev builds with stack overflow error. We really have to solve this someday. Not sure how to debug tho.

Yes! After writing this comment I noticed that the tauri cli is building the crate in debug mode when I did cargo tauri android dev. There's a --release option, that'll probably work.

Can we find out if fastn works on Android?

It probably does, I have been able to run the http server with fastn serve till now. The release build requires that I sign the apk before it'll let me run it so I'm figuring that out right now.
