    Project mention: Maintaining an Android app is a lot of work | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-06-08

    This fully reflects my own Android experience (https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Paul+Lutus) -- writing Android apps is by no means a write-and-forget experience. As time goes by more of my apps are dropped from the platform from my unwillingness to drop everything and rewrite code for each new Android version.

    My original intent was to put my free, open-source apps on the platform, much as I had done before Android existed. But no -- Android doesn't work that way.

    My best-known Android app is SSHelper (https://arachnoid.com/android/SSHelper/), a Secure Shell server meant for file transfers. Still work perfectly, dropped some time ago.

    TankCalc (https://arachnoid.com/android/TankCalcAndroid/), same story. It's a well-known multi-platform app tank farm managers use to profile storage tanks. Still works, dropped from the platform.

    And not just mine. Many other free, first-rate Android apps -- Termux (https://termux.dev/) comes to mind -- have been driven off the platform by Google's onerous demands and commercial focus.

    It's as though a wall is going up between people who like programming and people who like money.

    Thanks for providing an example of the search query you had problems with. Interestingly, I haven't noticed the decay in Google search quality that many are complaining about. The first hit when I use your Google query is https://github.com/alpinelinux/aports/blob/master/COMMITSTYL... which seems correct?
