What do you want to see?

it would be nice if an explicit apk was released here
and/or adding the app on f-droid would be a good idea

It would be great to also add the signing certificate fingerprints in the github README

This fork seems interesting (even if it is a bit strange to already have forks for a beta app clearly in-development).
Clerotri is a react-native app, and as such, I prefer not to use.

For stoat chat to work on android without play services it needs to be either released on this github, or released on free store like accrescent (in alpha) or f-droid and support push notification via unified push or a websocket (which is absolutely not ideal because it drains a lot of battery for a single app)
