This is great work!
The gallery app is already on fdroid
- Here is the link: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.fossify.gallery/
I only see it from the IzzyOnDroid repo. Same with Fossify Calendar. Must be coming imminently
On my end it's not showing on F-Droid, yet.
And their site doesn't show a thing because it's currently under construction
- Use Obtanium and point it where you want

  Thanks for the recommendation! Obtanium works like a charm.
- Fossify Repositories
  
  Thank you!
~~Link to the app that works everywhere.~~
Edit: got confused with the file manager.
- That's the gallery
- That's the gallery. I can't find the file manager in the official repo yet, but it is available in the izzysoft repo.
The new Calendar app is also on F-Droid now!
Edit: my bad, it's on Izzysoft, not F-Droid.
- cand find it. Do you have a link?
  
  My bad, it's on Izzysoft, not F-Droid.
Thank you but URL returns a 404 error
That's like, almost 100% identical to the Simple File Manager from Tibor Kaputa, why make a new one?
- Simple File Manager (and the other associated apps) got bought by a company, so this is a fork by a long-time maintainer that keeps it FOSS
  
  Great !
  
  So are they going to repackage those apps and sell on the playstore? What's the purpose of buying open source apps? Or it's just to limit open source competition?
- Its not, its a fork of the simple mobile tools suite that just got bought by an advertising company. This new maintainer forked the codebase of all the apps and is maintaining the foss version from here on out so we're not stuck with ads and malware injected into the apps we use.
