chore(release): prep v0.1.16 — say plainly which servers Tane talks to
The store listing claimed "No account, no server, no trackers" while the
app was dialling four relays at launch. The app side is fixed; this is
the half a reader sees.

- Store description, both locales: the false line is gone, and a new
  "Sharing needs the internet" block names relay.comunes.org (ours),
  nos.lol, relay.damus.io and relay.primal.net, says when Tane talks to
  them, what they can see (a key and an IP — no name, no account), and
  where to switch any or all of them off, or point Tane at your own.
  Deliberately plain: no protocol names, no jargon. The audience is
  gardeners; the technical detail belongs in the F-Droid thread.
- The same correction on the landing page (feature card, FAQ, status).
- 0.1.16+18, so the F-Droid recipe's versionCodes become 181/182/183.
  F-Droid reads fastlane metadata from the checkout of the newest built
  version, so the description only reaches it via a new release.

The recipe mirror's `commit:` still points at v0.1.15 — it needs a hash
that does not exist yet, and is synced here and in the fdroiddata fork
once v0.1.16 is tagged.

description: "A local-first, decentralized app for keeping and sharing traditional seeds and seedlings. Offline, encrypted, no account."
hero:
title: "Your seed bank in your pocket"
tagline: "Keep and share traditional seeds and seedlings — offline, encrypted, no account."
lead: >
Every traditional seed is a letter written by thousands of generations,
passed from hand to hand. Tane helps people and seed-saver collectives keep
a friendly inventory of their bank, decide what they offer, and share it
locally — without a central intermediary that could control it, censor it,
or be fined for it.
pillars:
- icon: "🌱"
title: "Manage your bank"
body: "Add a seed or seedling with just a photo and a name — no Latin required. Note the year, how much you have, where it came from, germination tests. Search, filter, snap now and name later."
- icon: "🔒"
title: "Yours, and only yours"
body: "Your seed book works with no internet at all, and Tane doesn't connect to anything until you join the sharing part. No account, no sign-up, no trackers. Everything is encrypted on your device. Keep an encrypted backup and a printed recovery sheet to restore your whole bank on a new device."
- icon: "🤝"
title: "Share, as it's always been done"
body: "Mark what you have spare to give away, swap or sell. Someone nearby finds it and contacts you — no middleman. Print a catalog of what you share to take to a seed fair."
features:
title: "What you can do with Tane"
intro: "One quiet app for the whole life of a seed — keeping it, caring for it, and passing it on."
groups:
- icon: "🌱"
title: "Your seed bank, in your pocket"
items:
- "Add a seed in seconds — a photo and a name is all you need."
- "Track each batch by year and amount, in real units: cobs, pods, a handful, a jar."
- "Keep photos, notes and germination tests for every variety."
- "Give a seed several names, in several languages."
- icon: "🗓️"
title: "Care and timing"
items:
- "Seed-saving guidance for each crop: pollination, isolation, how many plants, drying."
- "A this-month calendar: what to sow, transplant or harvest for seed."
- "Friendly warnings when a seed is getting old, so you renew it in time."
- icon: "🔒"
title: "On paper, and off the grid"
items:
- "Printable labels and cards for your packets and jars, each with a code to scan."
- "One tap saves a sealed backup; a recovery card brings everything back."
- "Works fully offline, with no account. Your data stays on your phone unless you send it."
- icon: "🤝"
title: "Share and stay connected"
items:
- "Offer spare seed to give away, swap or sell — and see what others share."
- "Save a search and get notified in the app as soon as a match shows up nearby."
- "Private messages to arrange a swap, person to person."
- "Vouch for people you've met and see who you can trust."
- "Make a plantaré promise: agree to return part of what you multiply."
- "Keep everything in sync across your own devices."
values:
title: "Why Tane is different"
points:
- "No center: no company can shut it down, censor it, or be fined for it."
- "Anti-monopoly by design — sharing seeds multiplies the commons instead of depleting it."
- "Spreads like a seed, person to person; what you share travels through community servers anyone can run — not a company's central server."
- "Free software (AGPL-3.0). No ads, no commissions, no business model."

Tane (種, "seed"; from *tanemaki* 種まき, "to sow seeds") is a local-first,
decentralized app for keeping and sharing traditional seeds and seedlings. It
works with zero network — and connects you to a neighborly seed-sharing network
when you want it.
