I didn't know SMT had been lost to an adware company… That's really sad. I'm a big time user of most of the apps in this project! Many of them are very good Android apps even compared to paid alternatives.<p>I'm especially pissed by this move because I used this project quite a lot in the free software development course that I teach. Many students want to gain experience in mobile development, and helping them make their first open source contribution to this project was a great way for them to learn mobile development and at the same time learn to contribute to an open source project (which requires many skills that are not all related to programming, hence having a specific course). I think we collectively made a dozen of PR last year for reported bugs or requested features in SMT apps.<p>Now it's like I made my students work for free for a shit company and to be honest I feel disgusted by that.<p>I'm really glad this fork is a thing, I hope it will work, and I hope the maintainers will be able to continue to publish seamlessly on F-Droid so that the switch is automatic, but I'm not sure that's even possible.
