I'd just love if #mapilio would open source their mobile apps. I'm avid #fdroid user and don't want to support closed source projects. And I really don' get it why they are so against #opensource mobile apps? I mean, all of their bussiness money-making logic seems to be on server-side anyway, and having #FOSS opensource client would be big PR boost and benefit them hugely by helping them grow their community.

We appreciate the community's enthusiastic response. While we aim to reciprocate and give back, our current beta phase entails addressing bugs and security concerns. This is why we've refrained from a public app release. Our plan involves launching a stable version before making the platform and mobile apps open source. As Mapilio, our focus is community-oriented rather than profit-driven.

@cantences

You're correct about F-Droid. However, regarding the current application, regrettably, there's nothing we can currently change. These issues also exist in Kartaview and Mapillary, as most of the trackers are integrated with social logins.

@ozcan
just remove social logins. Problem solved.

I hope you'll forgive me if I reserve my belief until such time when said open source materializes. I pledge to send some donations your way as soon as that happens as a sign of goodwill, how about that? Why would your plan prohibit you from publishing (at least some, if there are reasons you can't yet publish all of it) mobile app open source right now as sign of goodwill? Surely *some* is publishable?
