Transparency is awesome, the more something feels like floating glass the better 🥳

Nice. It’s not often you see a cityscape that isn’t nighttime, I like the white hazy presence.

This is a very meta answer to give 😄

Short answer I think you may be out of luck. Firebase/MicroG, websocket (must be included as a part of the app itself by the developer) or some NTFY workaround are really the only options that I’m aware of at this point.

Not the OP, but there was a time about a year ago (can’t remember if it was pre- or post- Daniel leaving the team lead role) where graphene was very vocal about how they felt that the Google play store security model was superior to that of F-Droid and Aurora. They poured massive amounts of development in to making it possible to use the play store directly in the OS through the sandboxed plag services. They expressed very clearly that they felt the only safe places to get apps was either directly from the developer or through the play store.

Graphene hasn’t been as vocal about this kind of stuff since Daniel stepped out of the limelight, and I did a quick search for the old twitter posts that covered the topic but couldn’t connect to them on twitter. That could just be because I don’t have a Twitter account and Elon is jacking up Twitter access these days.

I’ve been using GrapheneOS for about a year and I’ve never seen F-Droid bundled in their installer or app store. They’ve been vocally against F-Droid for quite some time. Other more FOSS focused projects bundle F-Droid.

If it’s only been a day, I might wait a bit longer before writing it off. The issue could very well be resolved soon. Even the big tech companies have a service go through problems for a day or two.

I only tested Notesnook for a few days, so I may not remember it’s key elements well, but Standard Notes seemed like a very similar product (the downside is the subscription, it was basically unusable to me without paying).

The NotesNook UI is the best I’ve seen, it’s hard to find that level of polish in a FOSS android app.

I think you’ll struggle to find what you’re looking for without a subscription model unfortunately. If you do want to retry Joplin that is my recommendation, I run it with a locally hosted Joplin sync server, it’s fantastic for my use case. It’s been recieving a lot of solid updates lately too.
