Show existing Android users there’s a better ecosystem out there. Get them to appreciate the consistency, simplicity, and respect for them that these apps have. They’ll start preferring these apps over the ad-filled design sin horrors that plague the Google Play store.

And then eventually when they have the opportunity to use Linux on mobile, all these apps will just be there, too—it would greatly lower the switching cost.

@cassidy @bender GNOME apps written in C or Vala that build with Meson are reasonably easy to get running on Android already. For Rust I believe it shouldn't be that hard, but AFAIK we don't have direct support from the build system yet. Python and GJS probably need some more work to integrate with the interpreters.

If there's any GNOME app maintainer seriously interested in getting their app working on Android, please give me a ping, I'm very happy to help where I can.
