How feasible would reproducible builds of TV-Bro be? about tv-bro HOT 2 OPEN

It seems to me that it is not necessary to strive for interchangeability of builds. Judging by the reviews, few people need it. I think the backup / restore user data (bookmarks and settings) are in higher priority. This is a much more requested feature.
And regarding the f-droid, it seems to me that it's ok if it will use a different signature key.

It might be better to also use a modified package name for foss build - so that the versions can be installed in parallel and the update mechanism of Google Play and F-Droid do not conflict.

Personally, I also feel like using reproducible builds with F-Droid adds value in that it proves that the published binary actually came from the published source. (After all, if you and F-Droid are able to build the same exact APK, it's obviously from the same source.)

And yes, a separate package id for the entirely floss builds might be a good idea whether or not TV Bro adopts reproducible builds.
