A developer has created an open source alternative to KWGT called Sukko.
It is an open source Android app for creating widgets for home and lock screens.
Here’s the project website: https://sadellie.github.io/sukko/
His repo: https://github.com/sadellie/sukko
Its currently in experimental stage and will take a while until a full release.
Current stage
Experimental
- Accessibility features are not implemented
- Expect huge changes in functionality
- Clean installation recommended. Data migration is not guaranteed
- External code contributions are welcomed, but I recommend waiting for alpha stage. There are no contributing guidelines at the moment
- Bug reports and feature requests are discouraged. I know what ku*tom is
- Not for daily usage despite implemented features and overall stability
- Please avoid redistribution on “free and open source android app repositories” 🟢🟦
Development updates: https://t.me/sadellie_dev
Compatibility
- Android 12 / API 31 and higher
- vivo - no, lol
- Pixel and close to AOSP ROMs
- Anything else - visit https://dontkillmyapp.com/ and follow instructions. If that didn’t help - open an issue or buy Pixel
that is a red flag to me
Yes, I read that. Maybe, he does not want the app from others on fdroid and just from him.
The license is GPL 3 so cannot legally stop you from Redistribution. Hopefully, fdroid gets a build from him. Otherwise, this app may be a no go for many people.
If the license is GPL3, how is he even able to say to avoid redistribution?
Like…why should i listen to what they’re saying if they have no legal right to say it?
Maybe, he does not know that. Someone can open an issue to inform them about that. Anyway, you can choose not to.
But, fdroid may not list the app, if you fork and try to publish with your name.
