I'm an open source developer who distributes my apps both on google play, and f-droid. I'd like to be part of this effort, and it would really help for google to see how many open-source developers...
I’m sure this strike will be super effective at self sabotage
The big issue is that Android play store and iOS is a monopoly
A strike won’t fix that. What is really needed is a tier 1 phone with another app store which pays developers better, is easy to port to and is an alternative option . There is very little incentive for users to use a store that might not exist in 5 years and a strike of 100 devs won’t fix that.
Google will always maintain control over Android. The solution imho is to try to get sailfish ported to the latest phones. Or even a framework like phone (like one of the manufacturers planned years ago but never released)
Lol.
Are these guys going to strike on iOS too?
