Does anyone know of web app I can use with a fediverse account that only enables composing and posting, *not* reading or scrolling (except for maybe my own posts).
Rationale: I've lost count of the times I've opened my app to post something, got distracted by something scrolling by, and then spent precious minutes retracing my steps to figure out what I was going to post about. For example, I opened my app to post about the music I'm listening to, then got distracted.
From the looks of this, the microapps here are those that were vibe-coded with Claude within an hour or two. Seems like anyone with a Claude or ChatGPT subscription would be able to replicate their own personal version. I don't know, it will be interesting to see how many more niche apps like this begin to crowd app stores. Simply because it takes no more than a basic idea to develop a working prototype.

This is one of a number of reasons I tried to start a discussion about the potential impacts of generative models on F-Droid;
I’ve noticed at least one app installed via F-Droid thay asked me to opt-in to on-device “AI”. Which made me curious about whether the F-Droid team has formulated a policy on this. Are apps with on-device “AI” built from source by F-Droid volunteers, or are they Reproducible Builds? If it’s the latter, what’s the standard for reproducibility here? I imagine the bar would be higher than in the watered down "Open Source AI Definition” that Mufelli pushed through the OSI. Which suggests a need fo...

Along a similar vein, I'd love to see a filter option in F-Droid that filters out apps that contain LLM-written code.

Agreed. There was some discussion in the forum thread I linked of an anti-feature flag for apps containing vibe coding. But the thread keeps getting derailed by a troll, and the mods are taking no action, so the discussion isn't making much progress. Please chime in!

Hmm. I've posted a new topic asking about this;
https://forum.f-droid.org/t/signsups-for-this-forum-appear-to-be-disabled/34154
Hopefully it's just a bug with this forum instance bit of bad UX (unusual for @Discourse though).
Signsups for this forum appear to be disabled. My attention was drawn to this by reply in the fediverse. I logged out and had a look and I can’t find any way to sign up either. Are we both missing something or have signups been suspended, and if it’s the latter, why?
@strypey @fennix @Discourse
I just replied there (https://forum.f-droid.org/t/where-is-the-sign-up-button/34076/7)
Please let me know when you wish to signup/register. Too much spam, so we keep turning it off every now and then.
