Because the process of publishing on f-droid is a bit challenging, and I couldn't find any guides I really liked, I wrote my own guide: randombits.dev/articles/andr…

If you had already installed the extension manually, you can keep using that version, or uninstall it and install the new version. Your existing excalidraw notes will be compatible with the new version.

I was originally building this just for myself, because I was struggling to think of unique ideas. But it turned out nice, so I'm sharing it with the world. Feedback welcome!

It was my first time using Chainlink, and I was impressed with how powerful it is and the many use cases it opens up.

It uses Chainlink Price Feeds to allow users to pay in multiple coins. It uses Chainlink Functions to sync data between the contract and server backend. And it uses Chainlink Automation to terminate expired subscriptions.

I just tried @eBay's AI description generator. It turned my informative description into a sales pitch. 😱 Please stop implementing AI features if it is not going to be helpful.
