Comment on This whole "Sign in to prove you're not a bot" thing is pissing me off

Ok. I wanna make this happen on Android. I am a complete dummy and the only thing I ever got off github had like step by step written instructions somewhere. What do I do?

Do I just download the freetube-0.23.2.13-Android.apk (latest release) from the releases site… Or do I need to build it first or something from the link you provided? Building it seems extremely daunting.

You can totally just install the latest release straight from the git repository. However, how often will you remember to check if there is a new release? If you want your apps to stay up-to-date you have 2 options. (Ordered from least effort to most effort)

F-Droid (minimal setup, slower releases)

Install F-Droid or one of the many 3rd party clients (I like Droid-ify the most right now)

enable the IzzyOnDroid F-Droid Repoin the Repository settings of the F-Droid client

install FreeTube Android

Obtainium (moderate setup, quickest releases)

Install the latest release of Obtainium directly from the git repo

go to app configurations search for Obtainium and click on the add to Obtainium button so that Obtainium can update itself when there is a new release.

In Obtainium, click on Add App. Then insert the release page URL for FreeTube Android (github.com/MarmadileManteater/…/releases) as the value for App Source URL, then click the Add button next to it and you are set.
