Claw is a read-only client for the lobste.rs link aggregator with support for saving posts, functioning as a reading list.
I built this app to both make it easier to find and remember interesting things from lobste.rs, as well as cut my teeth on Jetpack Compose and build something that I would actually use.
WhatsNew:
### Fixed
- Crashes from process death
- Crashes in widget handling
- Android Auto Backup works again
### Changed
- Added a tag filtering option to settings
- Comment count badge has been restored
- Navigation behavior has been improved to avoid too-deep hierarchies
- Widget clicks are handled reliably
- Widget UI has been touched up and a preview added for Android 16+
- User profile page is now scrollable
Anti-Features: TetheredNet(This app is bound to a certain network service):
⇒ The app is bound to lobste.rs.Tracking(the application tracks and reports your activity to somewhere – usually either without your consent, or by default (i.e. you’d have to actively disable it)):
⇒ The app comes with Sentry which seems to be enabled by default.
While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device. Some clients have this repo enabled by default, e.g. Neo Store, Droid-ify, or, of course, the IzzyOnDroid client by Sunil. With others (like the official client) you'll have to add this repo manually (see the hint on top of the package list for how to do that).
