castlab
While this account is mainly dedicated to #Fedilab, we also build some other apps.
Currently, we are working on an app called #CastLab. We made great improvements on it. This app can be run on Android or iOS
The goal of this app is to easily cast media from your device to TV or devices supporting apps such Kodi.
CastLab will be published only on #FDroid and no Google services will be involved such a Chromecast support.
We published the very first version of #CastLab in our #FDroid repo.
In the readme file, we added the next goals (cf the ToDo section).

Thank you for your future feedback to improve this app.
PS: CastLab is an app that allows you to cast media from your device albums to your television without Google services.
Currently, the only way to install #CastLab is to use #FDroid with our custom repository https://fdroid.fedilab.app

For #CastLab we plan a Google version that will also support Chromecasts.
But if we do that, we will make this version a paid one to support our work. We also plan to publish it on AppStore with the AirPlay support.
We thought about a one time payment around 3$.
What do you think about that?
