Any chance of putting this on F-droid?

I don't use the Play store (don't want a Google account) and prefer to stay away Github because Microsoft. Thanks.

Added: Thanks for the links! Unfortunately it looks like the app requires Android 8.0+ and my phone is still on Android 7. Is that inherent to Jetpack or some other part of the app technology? It would be good to not have to keep churning to the latest shiny.

I was pretty sure that Jerboa is already on F-droid; see https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.jerboa/

How long does it take for f-droid to be updated to must recent release? F-droid is at 0.34, GitHub is at 0.35. I know it is a bit much to expect it in less than 24hrs, m not complaining, just curious

F-Droid does their own builds of apps, they don't use APKs released by devs. So updates from them are down to however long they take to get it done. If you want faster updates, you can add the Izzy on Droid Repository to your F-Droid client, as they update from the releases on GitHub and Jerboa is available there as well, and updates more quickly.
