Support Vakana.mg
Thank you for testing the early release of Vakana.mg! 🚀
I am building this project completely on my own in my free time. It is free, tracker-free, and leaves everything on your device. The ultimate goal is to make it fully FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) once the pre-1.0 foundation is perfectly stable.
Since Vakana.mg is distributed directly as an APK and isn't on major app stores, word of mouth is everything. If you like this modern take on Malagasy ancestral knowledge management, here is how you can help me keep going:
1- Write About Us on Your Blog
If you run a blog, a quick shout-out is the highest value support you can give a solo dev.
- Review the app: Share how you use the beads, threads, or the calendar grid.
- Link back: Send people to Vakana.mg to grab the APK.
2- Share the APK with Friends
Bypass corporate app stores entirely.
- Send it directly: Pass the APK file or the download link to anyone who loves unique note-taking tools, markdown, or offline-first privacy.
3- Subscribe for Updates
Knowing people are actually out there using the app is my absolute biggest source of motivation.
- Stay looped: Sign up to know the second a new pre-1.0 release drops.
4- Share Your Specific Use Case
How are you stringing your beads?
- Tell me your setup: Send an email describing how you use the app (daily journaling, project tracking, voice notes, etc).
5- Send a Simple "Thank You" or Feedback
- Prevent solo dev burnout: A quick two-sentence email saying what you liked or reporting a bug makes a world of difference.
