I’ve been building an app for some time and I’m interested in open sourcing it. I’ve searched the net but I haven’t found a good thorough guide on how to open source an app. So, besides choosing a place to put my code (github etc), what are some other advice you can give me in order to do it right? Thanks in advance
Codeberg or gitlab as a source forge. Depending on how private you are, you can start a fresh git repository, then your private history won’t be exposed.
Otherwise, a license and gitignore file and you’re done. Maybe a README if you fancy. And if you want to go overboard, add the apk or request for it to be put on F-Droid
Always a README I would say.
First paragraph tells what the app does im clear terms.
Also, screenshots.
Do I have to sign the apk? I haven’t found any clear answer on that.
