Keep Android Open

Keep Android Open is a community advocacy website fighting against Google's 2025 developer verification mandate, which will require all developers to be registered with Google.

Purpose

Launched in direct response to the Google announcement, the site defends Android's core promise: an open platform where anyone can build, share, and install apps without centralized gatekeeping. It aims to inform on the impacts on consumers, developers, states and coordinate resistance.

Running the site locally

npm run dev

The site should run locally and be browsable at http://localhost:4321/.

Translations Needed!

To provide a translation into a new language like Italian (language code: "it"):

1. Edit src/i18n/config.ts in a fork and update the languages list with the new language code.
2. Create a new folder in src/content/pages/ and add the translation of the English index.md file. Translate the markdown headers and page content. The most important text is at the beginning; the lists of links do not all need to be translated.
3. Commit changes to your fork and file a Pull Request with your translation.

Important

Please do not submit machine-generated translations (using LLMs or AI tools). We need authentic human translations from native speakers of the language.
