is there room for devs to help?
It's a paid app, not open source. They can't take any contributions without hiring or paying the person, or will open themselves to legal repercussions.

Only if you had tried to hide what Streisand effect is, we could've had Streisand effect of Streisand effect.
Edit: Don't watch much review videos, hadn't even heard of the guy. Looked up the video, and ended up subscribing to his channel 😀 At least he is getting free publicity with it.

What are the must have apps for android? (Preferably FOSS but all are fine)

Don't even remember why I chose it, but remember everyone being very happy about it. Here's the info from it's FAQ:
Compared to other 2FA apps, we think Aegis stands out in terms of its simplicity and security. Most popular apps like Google Authenticator and FreeOTP don't bother with additional security measures. They allow access to your tokens right after opening the app. Aegis, on the other hand, encrypts all of your tokens at rest and requires a password or the touch of a finger to decrypt them.
Another important feature is the ability to export your tokens and import them into another device. Google Authenticator doesn't have this, which has not only annoyed users for years, but has also resulted in loss of access to lots of accounts.

Yeah, I didn't know it was just one person. That doesn't really feel umm... safe for something like email.

Thanks for the recommendations.
Have you tried Aegis? I have settled on that for my 2FA needs.

WhatsApp just launched ads for all users, here are the details - 9to5Mac

Signal is better than WA (from privacy point of view) but it's still a centralised service. I am personally a fan of xmpp but since I was never even able to convince anyone to switch from WA to Signal, convincing people to switch to a federated service is even tougher.
On the other hand, switching messengers once every decade should be fine, I think. We did switch from ICQ/AIM to Yahoo! / MSN messenger, then came Skype, then WhatsApp. I think Signal should be good enough for this decade.
There's also Threema, Swiss based, but it has one-time payment, so most people wouldn't like it.

Delta seems cool, I haven't used it much, but I would rate it one step below Signal for general use. It can be the chat for 30s, I think 😀

Flogo – A powerful flowchart-based visual coding app for Android (free & ad-free)

It's pretty neat. Specially liked the PDF summary, though why does summary says "Connector void" about all connectors, I couldn't figure out a way to do anything with the connectors.
Also, when saving .flogo file, it doesn't check if file already exists, and overwrite it.
Also, is there any auto-save? I didn't check? But if I am making a long flowchart, wont' want to lose cause of accidentally closing the app.

This looks pretty great. How long have you been using it for? I am using FastMail for quite a while, but I don't use web interface, or calendar / contacts syncing (have my own nextcloud server for those), so just need email. Its' pretty pricey compare to purelymail.

I'll suggest implementing some kind of auto-save. Just keep it in internal db until user saves it or something. Cause on mobile, generally it is expected that things will auto-save, and there are many lower end phones that automatically close app when they go in the background, specially if there are multiple apps open.

Take a backup once every 6 months or so, and have it on my computer. Along with my backup of password manager's file.
As a last resort, I just remember my email account's password and keep it's backup codes with me, everything else can be reset as long as I can log into my email account.
