Research direction

The issue names no file, test, or entry point. Start by reviewing the Keep Android Open site and the linked F-Droid merge request, then identify where a user-facing announcement could belong in this client. Done should be defined by choosing one concrete form of support, such as an in-app banner, and agreeing on its placement and content.

Description

enhancement
Before you submit
  • I have searched the issue tracker for open and closed issues that are similar to the feature request I want to file, without success.
  • I'm not requesting app support for a specific repo — that's up to repo maintainers
  • I understand this might not get built (Droid-ify is maintained by a single person)
