It's finally gone.

Hi everyone,

you may or may not remember this message: https://news.1rj.ru/str/FoedusProgramme/146

Thanks to maximiliaan, Alexander Brunswig, ash az, Bi, HauptlingHD and an anonymous person, we raised enough funds for a Play Store account.
Thanks to @MainPandaHoon, who signed up at Google Play console, we have access to an developer account.
Thanks to 38 volunteers from the chat, we had enough testers to pass Google's testing requirements for indivdual developers.

Hence, I am happy to announce that Gramophone is now available in the Google Play Store:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.akanework.gramophone

published under the developer account "devpandaxda".

Please however note this version is signed using a different key, so you cannot switch between Google Play version and F-Droid/GitHub version without uninstalling and re-installing the app. GitHub and IzzyOnDroid will continue to get updates fastest, while F-Droid and Google Play will be slower due to slow build cycles and slow review times, respectively. (Other than signing, the Google Play and GitHub/F-Droid/IzzyOnDroid versions are the exactly same code). The Google Play version uses this certificate SHA-256 digest: 178869b0f9130d145b53404df4d4e5e311095406cb3c51a3e7a4b03bb3e87786

Thanks everyone for your support!

I got more than enough TTML files, I didn't reply to most people due to time constraints but I saved them all. Thanks. However I'm still looking for SRT lyric files, if you have some, please send them to @FoedusDiscussion

Something is coming ... 👀

Hi everyone,

because quite a lot of people got confused about our active projects, here is an up-to-date overview.

P.S.: lightsummer233's fork of Accord can be downloaded in @light_summer

Hi everyone,

this is just a reminder that we do not have accounts for United Software (or Akane Foundation) or Gramophone on other platforms. Only this channel+group and our GitHub at AkaneTan/Gramophone are related to us.

Cheers,
Nick
