I know its new, so am I to lemmy, but I was curious if there is any plans to release Sync Ultra outside of the Play Store.

The features sound awesome and want to support lemmy but not everyone has Google Play/iOS.

An option like threema has to buy a license key and download the .apk would be ideal and I'd be all aboard!

I feel like the pool of Lemmy users who are willing to use a closed source app but not use the play store has to be incredibly small.

I feel there are a lot of custom rom users here which don't have play services built-in or its hard to implement

Yeah, but I feel like those people are mostly going to gravitate towards FOSS clients

If they are decent, there is a limit of pain each Foss person can take

I think the amount of non Play Store/App Store users overall is very small. With GraphineOS at least I can restrict the app.

But I bet we skew towards the "have considerable amounts of disposable income" of the economic spectrum.
