Since F-Droid version 0.103 and later developers have new awesome possibilities to promote their apps.
At the moment NewPipe looks like almost every other app on F-Droid. We can make the app page more interesting like the devs did it with these apps (from Guardian and F-Droid repo):
- Wikipedia
- Telegram
- Osmand
- Ripple
- Checkey
- Firefox Focus (German Firefox Klar)
Open F-Droid and take a look. It's worth it.
To improve our appearance we should add/change following things:
Screenshots
Basically screenshots have the function to show the user how the app looks like. That's the way Telegram uses the images. I'd prefer to do it like OSMand and add small texts to the screenshots which explain the screenshot a little further. But we can also create a wallpaper like they did for Firefox Focus (please have a look in F-Droid).
Feature Graphic
The feature graphic usually contains the logo and/or a slogan. More information and a collection of good graphics can be found here and here. We can use something like this. It's a first sketch, so some fine tuning needs to be done, but what do you think of it? @TheAssassin Does it cause license problems when we use the SoundCloud and YouTube logos?
Changelog
As we already have a changelog in the release details we can copy it to an additional file too, so people can see directly what changed before upgrading the app.
Description
We should improve the app description along with #674. Furthermore I think we can remove following sentences:
This a very early version of the app, so not all functionality is implemented, and there may still be a lot of bugs. But all in all it's doing what it is supposed to do. It makes it possible to watch YouTube videos. So don't be cruel to this app. It will improve...
And if our awesome translators have some time left, we can localize the description and screenshots too.
