Done, thanks! The README’s install section now has a one-tap link to add Gander to Obtainium: https://github.com/mokshablr/gander#install

Fair question. A lot of it(the README and code) was written with AI assistance under my direction, and every push runs with a the test suite in CI.

The no-permissions claim doesn’t depend on trusting that tho… the build fails if a permission is added, the About screen on the app also shows what Android says the app requests(isnt hardcoded), and it’s open-source MIT licensed, so the code is there to read.

If you find something bad in it, you can open an issue and I’ll definitely be there to look into it.

Thank you! Gander was built with a privacy-first approach since the beginning.

System. Gander has no TTS of its own… it uses TalkBack or whichever screen reader you’re on to read the document, PDF text included.

And no root functions, it’s a viewer and asks for no permissions at all!

F-Droid is the one I actually want. The request has been open since July (https://gitlab.com/fdroid/rfp/-/issues/4138) but nobody from F-Droid has reviewed it yet, which seems to be normal there.

The one thing I expect review to bring up is that the renderers are vendored as minified JavaScript, and I’ve offered to swap in unminified copies or build them from source. Meanwhile, the APK on GitHub releases works with Obtainium.

Crazy how I didn’t hear about this
