Throwback to when they announced releasing a simple phone. Fun times.

No, I am not the dev. Perhaps I should’ve clarified this.
“evil corporation” is quite the tautology.
I’m afraid this is not an ebook reader, but a book tracker.
This is an offline tracker, so it doesn’t compare per se. There were talks about integrating bookwyrm into the app, but as of now there is no public API.
This project was actually my exit way from Goodreads. Unlike another commenter, I found virtually no issue with searching for books in European languages. All the statistics which GR offers are available, and you can easily import your books to the app. And of course, no ads, zero trackers and open source.
The only caveat is the social aspect, since this is an offline tracker.
Edit: If you have any concerns, hop on the matrix community where the dev is active.

Out of interest, how often do you find issues looking for books on OpenLibrary?
Neat! Thank you for sharing.
No it doesn’t, only system packages are admitted as viable options for WebView, hence the need for root privileges.
I am intrigued to know what is the original message.
I see myself blowing up a pipeline.
Give Vimusic a try!
Where did you get your info from?
Mahmoud Abbas, president of Palestine and head of Fatah, was the one to suspend both legislative and presidential elections and not Hamas. In fact, the latter “strongly opposed the decision to call off elections” (npr.org).
Abbas’ party has been working closely with the Israeli authorities. His excuse was that “Israel refused to commit to allowing Palestinians to vote in Israeli-occupied East Jerusalem” (npr.org).
Some (quite convincingly) hypothesise that the suspension of the elections was aimed at preserving his presidency and salvage “his fractured Fatah party [which] was expected to suffer another embarrassing defeat to Hamas.” (apnews.com).
How can one expect the people to not fight if democracy can’t be exercised freely?
Not open source but the app is ad free and has zero trackers.
Exactly, I had to exclude Jerboa from the firewall since many instances started using cloudflare.
I was in a similar spot and gave up before starting. This is due to several reasons: 1) My circle of relatives and friends, like yours, neglect their privacy and would not engage with me in a serious conversation regarding it; 2) educational institutions, businesses, organisations and even governmental bodies may rely on WhatsApp for communications; and 3) the two big telecom monopolies offer enticing mobile data deals for using WhatsApp.
While I am not saying you should give up, you should go for modest goals (e.g. converting your close family to signal when chatting together) and eliminate optimistic expectations so you don’t get crushed.

Not FOSS, but Lithium on the play store has what you need and the app is free of tracking and ads.
I find open-source apps in this department to be still lacking.

Works fine for me. You can open an issue on Github.
