    I was going to try it out, and then the website asked me for my email :(

    I don’t want a feed aggregator that has its own account, I want one that just lets me use my existing network/feed-specific accounts.

    I imagine (/hope) that the email-for-signup is only while the software is in alpha/beta/unreleased, to help them get user feedback.

      I can confirm that the email is only for sending out an invite, for downloading the beta version. You just use your existing MastoAPI-enabled Fediverse account.

        Do you maybe mind sharing your APK with VirusTotal score so that people who want to try it can do so without giving their email away?
