Husky

Hello, dear Husky users.
For almost a year, you haven't seen any updates on Husky. I owe you an apology for that.
In August 2025, I left my job as an Android developer because I was burnt out. I didn't do any programming for three months just to recover, and after finding a new job, I wasn't ready to get back to working on Android apps.
Recently, I settled into my new home, and my setup is almost ready for me to resume work on Husky. Eventually, new releases will come out, with fixes and new features.
I hope you can understand, and please be a little more patient.
Cheers,
@nprofile…gunk

Hello.
Husky is still maintained, although I own an explanation to all of you.
I'll share a link as soon as I'm able to do the write up.
Thank you :blobCatReach:

Custom emoji reactions is coming along :0b18:

2025-04-06 23:11:37 GMT

Alright.
@nprofile…5k85 is going to travel for about three weeks, so no news for Husky.
UnifiedPush support is being implemented and a beta will be released for people to try it, until the version is stable enough.
Also, the logging process is also being reworked to allow users to send traces in a more complete way and not only by email, sp issues can be detected and fixed faster.
On the new Husky app, progess is slow but steady, but nothing new on that side for the moment.
Thank you for your support :ablobcat_cordkamikami:

Husky has been submitted to Accrescent signed with the keystore from the Play Store :camfy:

2025-03-17 15:47:32 GMT

Hello, dear Husky users.
A couple of users did RT an old message I posted two years ago, when I had to leave Husky for a while.
Let me reasure that Husky is still alive. In fact, I'm working on adding UnifiedPush support (both for non-Google users and Google users), and other things.
I'm also working on a new version of Husky for both Android and iOS usking Kotlin Multi-Platform, and the idea is to have an alpha by the end of the year with almost the exact same functionality (although I cannot promise that).
Announcements for Husky are only made with this account.
Thank you for your support :blobcatmeltlove:

Hello!
Husky has been accepted into the Accrescent store, therefore you will have another way of getting it besides self-releases and F-Droid.
Since F-Droid signs Husky with its own key, self-releases are signed by the developer, and Husky is not longer available at the Play Store, I thought about this opportunity to upload the app there signed with the same key it was signed for the Play Store, and therefore, users that installed Husky from there could, in theory, keep getting updates for the app.
I'll announce when the app is published there, it's almost ready!

2025-01-27 16:55:33 GMT

I'm going to try to get Husky into https://accrescent.app/, the GrapheneOS store, for those users who don't use F-Droid or get the APKs from GitHub.
Stay tuned for the updates on this topic.
On another related topic with stores, I'm working with a friend to get a F-Droid repository for Husky, so updates are deployed instantaneously and users don't need to wait for updates.
More in the future about this topic too.

@npub1wc2…4sk7 @npub1m4n…y9a9 It takes a few days, or more, to get new builds. This is out of my control.

2024-08-01 09:58:42 GMT

Husky might be out of the Play Store from august 16th because of Google's policy regarding publishing applications there.
You should get Husky from F-Droid or GitHub releases instead.

Translations are unlocked!
See https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/husky/translations/ if you want to contribute translating Husky into your language :comfy:

2024-04-21 10:29:07 GMT

I was thinking of returning beta builds before each stable release, automated, with a different package name and signature, so you can keep it installed while having the stable one at the same time. Also, debuggable and unminified (so logs are easier to get).
I know there are people who used them in the past.
It's also a good way to get feedback of possible issues during the testing period.
Thoughts?

2024-04-11 07:38:30 GMT

Over the course of the next days/few weeks I'll migrate the project to GitHub.
The issue is issues cannot be migrated automatically, so I'm working on a solution for this.
Links will be updated as soon as the project is migrated.

2024-04-01 11:20:55 GMT

Husky will offer a paid service to show a custom-tailored blobcat verification emoji along your user name for others to see you're actually who you say you are.
This list will be curated manually to verify the identity of those who want to join the program.
It'll be 8€/month, the icon will be blue, and you'll have the blobcat displayed to everyone using Husky.
Stay tunned for more information :neocat_verified:

@npub1qq7…fedr If you don't enable the "Crash Reporter" in the "Preferences" and send me the crash logs, I cannot fix anything.
I don't use Firebase or other backends to track those issues because of privacy issues with all of them.

@npub199q…gx6r No issue was opened for thia at the issue tracker.
