I'm attempting to publish a FOSS app (sevonj.github.io)

I made a simple timer app for Android, desktop, and browser. I think it's ready for most part, and I'm starting to look into publishing it.

I decided to start with Android / Play Store, which immediately gives me a roadblock. Google Play Console says:

Have at least 20 testers opted-in to your closed test (1 tester currently opted-in)
Run your closed test with at least 20 testers, for at least 14 days

I want to look into F-Droid and Flathub once I have this sorted out. But before that, any opinions on the app, or volunteers for testing, as I don't have 20 friends to ask?

Thanks.

Edit: Let's try Play store again with this: https://groups.google.com/g/jyl-test-group

Edit 2: It works, at least someone besides me was able to join:

What a pain. I'll look into preparing an F-droid release as soon as I have time.

It's quite interesting to read about these hurdles, even though I'm not planning to publish anything in the foreseeable future. Always just on the downloading side. Thanks for posting. Hope you get it sorted out!
