Can we pretend that... Say... An imaginary friend of mine has never heard of this and wants to know what it is. Purely hypothetical of course.
Fork of simple mobile tools, that was bought recently
There is a collection of open source apps that aim to just do their job with no fancy additions, they were called "Simple mobile tools". They are no longer maintained, this is a fork of them.
They are (hopefully) maintained by the company that bought them. And yes, this is the fork.
Considering what the company does with other apps it buys we actually hope that they don't maintain their apps.
Oh, they'll be "maintained" alright. Just at what cost to the user is what needs to be determined.
Great! So what is it?
Simple tools for mobile; gallery, calendar, file manager, etc. A fork of the unmaintained Simple mobile tools.
Awesome news!
ELI5, please?
Simple Mobile Tools (the creator of Simple Gallery, a very popular gallery app) sold out to a scummy ad company. This is a fork of the Simple Gallery app that won't include all the telemetry and ads the new owners will inject it with.
Nice! The settings export/import from the SMT version to the new Fossify version works perfectly, plus we get a nice green icon, to easily tell them apart. So happy they're forking these apps.
settings export/import reduces the transition to 8 clicks (touches?)
🙂
