Premium features for donation and F-droid releases

[mjholub]

Would be nice if there was a way to access premium features without gApps, since Aurora Store unfortunately doesn't support purchasing new apps so I have to use a secondary smartphone or my PC, whilst I'm also a bit hesitant to give Google my CC data. The simplest way I can think of achieving it is if there was a possibility to get an unique key available after donating via ko-fi.

Oh, and since the app is licensed under GPL, it could be published on F-droid, possibly there can be a dedicated package without Google Crashlytics and this way of obtaining premium features as the only one available. Instead, since people who use F-Droid are mostly techies, stack trace could be generated and the app would suggest sending an e-mail with it. It may also be necessary to try replacing ACRCloud with (AcoustID)[https://acoustid.org/]. If you don't have the time to create separate releases for F-droid, I can try becoming a maintainer.

Regarding fdroid, see #2 and #216. I just added pScrobbler to my automated fdroid repo, which will pull new github releases daily. However, I believe @kawaiiDango includes nonfree libs in the releases, so up to you if you want to install. According to one of those issues, the app does work with microg (I use Gapps, so I can't tell you if it works without).

I also use microG. The thing is it connects to Crashlytics servers, though they can be blocked with Nebulo, pihole, etc. And that other library for scrobbling from mic, which has a libre alternative. Perhaps in July I'll have the time to make and test a more libre build and share the results here.

So is there no other way for me to get premium features?

[freshgum-bubbles]

Yeah, I'm agreeable to this. If there was a way to support the app without Google Play, that'd be a lot better.

I'm not sure what F-Droid's terms on pay-gates are (cc @IzzySoft), but -- as a very regular user of Pano -- with the clear amount of effort put into this app I'd be very happy to pay a fair amount for it ;-)

It goes without saying that the alternative method wouldn't be included in the Play Store builds, though -- against their policies, from what I understand.
