Squawker

Maintaining the Fritter feed, originally by Quacker

There is also an alternate F-Droid repository that allows updates for Squawker to be available faster than on the default F-Droid repository.

Scan the QR code below or click this link and process it with your F-Droid client. Here's the full link text for easy viewing:

_{Important note: In case Squawker is already installed on your device and you want to reinstall it or want to install a version from another repository (from F-Droid to github or from F-Droid to the alternate F-Droid repository for instance), make sure to backup your application data (Settings/Data, tap Export, select all items then tap the save icon) and uninstall Squawker before proceeding.
After you have reinstalled Squawker from the new repository, import your backup (Settings/Data, tap Import).}

How do I choose a repository?

Start with your use case, compare repository activity, and check the original project before adopting it.

Search by repository name, owner or description, then narrow the results by topic.
Compare stars, forks and recent pushes. Stars show community interest, not a guarantee of quality.
Read the README, license and issues on GitHub before using a project.
