You are free to make pull +requests with new features or bug fixes. + +⚠️ **In 2025 this app will disappear from Google Play and my developer account will be deactivated.** +Google is introducing [a policy](https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2023/07/boosting-trust-and-transparency-in-google-play.html) +that's hostile to indie developers. I'm now required to provide my home address for public display +on the Play Store. That's not something I'm going to do. If you are one of more than 600k users +who downloaded the app via Google Play, I encourage you to switch to the [F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=me.tsukanov.counter) +distribution. While future updates are unlikely, they are not going to be on Google Play. ---
