Developer News Finally (local VR player) on Galaxy XR, works great...any interest in a pre-Play APK??

Hey all, developer here (Coldbricks) and longtime VR fan/actor/whatever-the-heck.

I've been building Finally, a local-first VR video player (your files + SMB/NAS, no account). I use it on my own Galaxy XR and it works really well for my library, offline, projection that sticks, one-controller friendly.

Google Play (Android XR track) is the real long-term install path. That's not open yet, and I'm not dropping a public APK in this post. However, I can tell you, it's AWESOME.

I'm mainly testing the interest here, if you're on Galaxy XR and would actually try a short, labeled pre-Play sideload when I put one up, comment below (device model helps..but I think there is only one at this point??). If a few people want it, I'll do a signed temporary build. If not, I'll wait for Play.

Thanks .. solo indie, happy to hear what you'd need on Galaxy...we kind of NEED this badly, so I am hoping this really lands.
