Throwing a beta release of a Linux mobile app

If there is anyone interested in trying out the source code beta release of my mobile strength training tool, I am releasing it to the wild.

Here is a website I created with further info:

Muscle Buddy

Muscle Buddy is a stand alone app that doesn’t phone home so it should fit in with the Purism privacy philosophy.

I started writing this app on a Librem 5 USA, but when the phone broke, I had to finish it on a PinePhone running Mobian. It should still work on PureOS as it is also in the Debian family.

The app should work on a Librem 11 as it has been tested on a Surface Pro 3 running Ubuntu. If anyone wants to test it and post their results, I would love to hear what their experience.

I need to research Flatpak and AppImage for a 1.0 release. I hope to make this cleaner in the future.

Thanks!

Thanks shak.

I am reading up on AppImage right now for a more user friendly future release. Haven’t ruled out Flatpak, but AppImage feels like a better fit for this app. I fear Flatpak will create the same jail problems I am having with running the app on Android.

I am new to packing tools so bear with me.
