Sweet. A question though: Why on Microsoft GitHub and not on Codeberg?

Finally, the doofus locator
I'd love this on fdroid
astounds me that people still don't make that priority #1
Fdroid requires app to be RB (reproducible build) which is good cuz it mean the apk developer release should be identical to a build you make from source code.
My issue was that updating or adding a library to my app could break RB which can be a simple fix, but would require either waiting for pull request to be merged or forking yourself.
It just becomes a game of Guess Who to find who is at fault for RB issues. Maybe it's just a flutter thing and isn't an issue with kotlin apps, idk.
IzzyOnDroid is a great fallback
How so? I don't know much about the difference between Izzy and F-Droid.
Izzy is a repo for fdroid, on Izzy they can still host your app even if it isn't RB. Also, they just scan places like github releases and post your apps automatically for you, while fdroid only includes it if you submit it first.
Anyone having trouble downloading the APK from the Git page? Tried a couple of browsers.
This is the link text:

Keeps circling back to the same page.
Yep, same.
Already have https://github.com/yjeanrenaud/yj_nearbyglasses
How would this app be an improvement or any better? Sometimes I feel people clone app repos, tweak 1 or 2 things and call it a whole new app.
If it ran in the background and notified me whenever one was detected it would be great.
Edit: looks like it does
I tried nearbyglasses but it doesn't stay running. I'll give nopeek a go and see if it's any better.
But I have my BT turned off when I'm not using it...
But if you use this app, you would be using BT, so turn it on...
Just a thought: politicians should not be allowed to use such apps. This right-to-privacy shit has gone too far, in the wrong direction, protecting ONLY the wrong people.
