Fortunately some developers stepped up to fork the Simple apps under the name Fossify;
So we can still have that simple, pleasant app experience we know and love, with regular updates via F-Droid or our app manager of choice.
This is a textbook example of how Free Code licenses, which enshrine the software freedoms of the people who use software, can protect us from enshittification.

They are published some code here but I can't tell at a glance if it's the full app code or not;
If not, it may be like Loops; developing behind close doors until it's relatively stable, or until they get time to tidy up their full code for publication? But I definitely won't be using it until it's available in F-Droid.
Muito bacana ver o poder do software livre e do código aberto sendo reconhecido. E quando isso ocorre em uma cerimônia internacional com o do Oscar então, melhor ainda. Flow, o longa ganhador da categoria de Melhor Animação, não possui diálogos e foi inteiramente produzido com o software livre Blender.

Good on the German authorities who set up the Sovereign Tech Fund. To help fund the maintenance of core software that most people have never heard, but depend on every day. I want to see every government in the world setting up a similar fund, and having them coordinate their efforts.

Yeah, we get it Paul. Having to help with the dishes after you eat your free lunch is "restrictive". It's more "permissive" to let people waltz in, eat their fill, and bugger off, without being expected to help out
