While we wrestle with our website generation bugs, a new call for testers of #FDroid and Basic. 2.0-alpha9 released over the weekend: * a redesigned featured categories in Discover * an useful search page, with categories, keyboard control & easter-egg (touch search twice) and keywords in categories descriptions * more on-boarding overlays to explore * updated translations * fixes and tweaks We need you all to test the clients on all sorts of #Android devices, the more diverse the merrier!

@fdroidorg@floss.social the new design looks great and cleaner than the "old" app. In my apps, there is an app called Google TalkBack with an issue. This app cannot be updated because all versions have an incompatible signature. Deleting the app is not possible, and I checked my apps but couldn't find it in my settings? Is it a mistake, or how can I fix it?

@fdroidorg@floss.social I'm testing F-Droid 2.0 since a while, but it isn't quite obvious where you're supposed to share feedback :/ Would be nice if you could make that more clear to testers.

@fdroidorg@floss.social "Test" how? Got any official test support, or do you just mean bumble around and report any anomalies?
