Official Android app for Mastodon

Project mention: Little File Explorer – ~40KB File Manager for Android 1.0 and Above | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-27

Though it's not without compromises — because of Google's stupid policy that "nothing goes into the system unless it needs direct access to privileged or private system components", RecyclerView, ViewPager, and some other basic UI components are still AndroidX libraries that depend on AppCompat for no good reason. I had to fork them to rid them of that dependency: https://github.com/grishka/LiteX
