The article itself seems written by AI? Maybe I'm missing something when reading, but when I packaged a Preact application and sent it to F-Droid, I needed to code a few hundred lines of Java and Gradle boilerplate: https://codeberg.org/nykula/sapfir/src/commit/fce6fcd34e/android - the article doesn't seem to mention many necessary steps in building a web-based hello world for Android? The choice of web-based technology (React) and F-Droid as a distribution channel is also a very weird combination in the context of postmarketOS, which targets many legacy, slow devices and thus its FAQ recommends using native Linux alternatives to Android and web apps whenever possible.

I wouldn't be at all surprised that an article with AI slop images is also AI slop text.
