A simple Streamlit application to consolidate OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic models into one chat interface. It includes conversation saving/loading, file uploads, image generation, integrated with Firebase Firestore for conversation storage.

There’s no doubt better docs will help improve the state of Android Apps.
But this is about stemming the flow of shovelware into the store, (todolist tutorial no 800000, but I changed the name) where the problem isn’t that devs lack the tools, it’s that they simply have no serious intention of maintaining their product.
If you can’t find or don’t have enough belief in your own app to find 20 people to download it for free, is it fair to promote it in a way that my gran might come to rely on it.
It’s not nice to be exclusionary, but end users having to pick through that stuff just isn’t great for the platform. There might be a better place for hobby code.
But I had to pay for access to this marketplace, only to have an arbitrary barrier put in place that can be paid to pass..
Isn't the whole review system supposed to promote good quality content?
This change, if genuinely implemented to try and improve app quality, actually only frustrates new developers that are trying to join the ecosystem.
20 people is quite a lot! After getting all my friends and family that use Android testing it, I still needed 10+ more 'testers'.
HN: NPM is full of trash, anyone can put any garbage package on it, even is-even.
Also HN: WTF Google doesn't just allow anyone to put any garbage on the Play store, this is bullshit.
Okay.. but I have to pay $25 to have access to Google Play Console and submit ID documents, it's not really the same as NPM.
This 20 tester requirement also does very little to actually improve quality or stop 'garbage' from being listed.
What sort of testing will you get for $50 paying 14 people? Seems rather pointless because no one will take that task seriously
It's just going to be one person, with 20 cheap devices or maybe even emulators. Even now, I get 20 'testers' but it's just to pass the requirement, pretty much none of them offer useable feedback. It's also a simple little word game, there isn't much to test...
If you're using Flutter, you can start with just the web app. Flutter for Web is definitely not as good as Flutter for iOS/Android, but it's decent, and the web itself is far easier platform to publish on. Then, if people like the app, you can bother jumping through all those bureaucratic hoops and get it on iOS/Android natively.
This is probably the path I will go down, should be easier to get the testers if it's already got some users on the web. Still feels a little unfair that as a new dev, I have to jump through these hoops that existing devs and businesses aren't subjected to.

> I wanted to publish it to the play store, get exposure and share what I have made.
It's not clear what you mean exactly with "exposure". But if you only care about sharing your work, it may be better to publish it on f-droid.
Play store is the de facto marketplace for Android apps, someone looking for a new game or application will often search the Play store...
Is this a new requirement? I launched a flutter app about 8 months ago and didn't need any testers. It's a free app though. Not sure if that makes a difference.
Yes it began afaik for any new developers joining after November 2023 for any type of application. If you have an account registered as a Play Store developer before Nov 2023, it's not required...
