TBA - Consider different installation methods

Following from legacy/trac#26242 (moved), we must decide how we will distribute this app for initial download and installation.

  1. Marketplaces (Google Play Store, F-Droid, etc.)
  2. Direct download
  3. ...?

We can't only rely on the marketplaces, because those are blocked on some networks. We can use the same mechanisms (such as gettor) for distributing TBA. One major difference on Android (when compared with desktop) is the difficulty with which a user can verify the downloaded blob is authentic. Simply checking the cryptographic signature is not easy, and bootstrapping trust is not as easy here. Have any other project solved this in a way we can use?

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
