Absolutely. Fdroid is awesome.

I hate the fact that there's no simple, free, ad-free note-taking app either inbuilt or on the app store. Just something simple and local to take a quick shopping list or a name or something like that. Fdroid has me covered for that.

I use obsidian works very well very simple and can be very complicated depending on what you want to do

I just set up Obsidian with Syncthing like so many Lemmy users recommend and it is totally awesome! I also love that I can theme it differently on my phone, tablet, laptop, and computer.

[–] Twitches@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

I use foldersync to SFTP back up my phone. But obsidian is great

I've been trying out Markor on Fdroid and I like it.

[–] dropcase@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

I just checked a couple of the editors I use, and this has been the only one that's offline first and no tracking - Markor:

I haven't used it a lot but it's been fast and easy to use.

? Google has Keep. It's whacky but it definitely has one and I think it comes pre-installed with base Android.

Haven't looked into good FOSS alternatives on F-Droid yet.

[–] potentiallynotfelix@lemdro.id 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

last I checked the aosp doesn't include gapps

[–] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No one was talking about AOSP though?

[–] potentiallynotfelix@lemdro.id 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

i consider the aosp to be base android, sorry if i misinterpreted your comment

[–] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That's like saying ungoogled Chromium is base Chrome. "Base Android" is what ships with Google's Pixel phones, which comes with Google apps.

[–] potentiallynotfelix@lemdro.id 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

by that definition, librewolf is the base of firefox, and one ui is base android as well. google pixel ui is not anywhere near "base" android. the base of something is the support of it, and android supports both oneui and pixel ui. at the core, the foundation, the base, one ui and pixel ui are android. android is not reliant on google services, google services are reliant on android. Edit: I made a poll on this, posted in android@lemdro.id. Feel free to vote for your answer here

[–] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Your poll is misleading as two options could be interpreted as stock Google Android, or rather none of them even. And for me the base of something is the official release version of the developers.

[–] potentiallynotfelix@lemdro.id 1 points 3 months ago

This is a subjective question. And I don't understand how it's misleading? Pixel UI is far different from stock android, it has a massive amount of changes.
