Show HN: MBCompass – FOSS Android and Compass App
Hey HN,

This is a follow-up to our original Show HN post, where I launched the first version of MBCompass.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44155741

Since then, I've added several features based on user feedback and community input...

I just released v1.1.9 of MBCompass - Minimal, FOSS compass and navigation app.

New in this version:

- Theme toggling (Dark/Light) controlled via settings - Fix current location arrow visibility - Compass accuracy alerts - Sensor status indicator - Explicit button for showing the GPS current location - Smooth transitions and many more..

Still just [1.35MB] with no ads, no IAPs, and no trackers

I’ve also:

- Moved the project repo to a github organization for easier team collaboration and governance

- Launched a dedicated website for MBCompass with feature overviews and the story behind the app:

As always, feedback is welcome. Thanks for the continued support!
