Revolt! your time has come (though it has been renamed to Stoat; a name I very much dislike.
You made the poor little guy sad. :(
I apologize :(
Limited Linux support (no repo or flatpak pkgs, not even aur) and tbh im not so sure how long they will continue to exist
isn't it just a webapp? should be trivial to package as a 'standalone program'
There is an unofficial aur pkg but still my point stands
tbh. I wasn't aware of this. So far I only used it in the browser
First open source android app I've seen that requires Google Play Store.
If that is true then that is much better than revolt because that kind of name will make the majority of people roll their eyes and pass it up.
So while it hard to get your friends to join a different platform imagine how much harder it would be to get them to join “revolt”. Its super edgy and on the nose
Well, I guess that 95% of all non-native speakers don't know what a stoat is. So it is much harder to connect to/remember it.
