Releases on github

[ishanarora]

🙍 Problem Statement

This project doesn't use github to release official apk. As of now the most official sources for apk are Google Play and F-Droid. Neither are recommended for privacy [1]. Further apps in the official F-Droid repository often fall behind on updates [2].

❔ Possible Solution

Release official apk with github release. We already have the version tags.

This would mean that the most up-to-date apk would always be available via github releases.

Forget about privacy and up-to-date releases?

I am all for it. Ideally automated. Help would be very much appreciated with this!

Err, should the priority be to release on GitHub or would you agree that the f-droid release should first catch up with the play store release?
In detail, the current release on f-droid is 12 Months old, and battles should be picked wisely. I'd prefer the latest build on f-droid over GitHub any day, if I had to choose between either, tbh.
But that's just me, I'm open to thoughts on this.
