Android's September deadline is a fire drill in four countries. Find your signing key anyway.

Enforcement on 30 September hits seven stores in Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand. Not sideloading, not other stores. But registration is bound to your app signing key, and Google's FAQ says a lost one can't be recovered.

There's a version of this story going around that says Android is closing. Sideloading is dead, the open platform is over, verify or disappear. I went and read Google's own developer verification pages this week, because Murror ships on Android and I wanted to know what I actually had to do before the end of the month. The docs say something narrower than the panic, and in one specific place something worse.

Start with what happens on 30 September.

Enforcement begins for users installing from participating stores Google Play, HONOR App Market, OPPO App Market, Galaxy Store, Palm Store, V-Appstore and GetApps in Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand, on certified devices running Android 7 or higher. If you haven't verified your identity and registered your apps by then, they're blocked from installation for users in those regions.

📢 What social media do you use as a maker?

I m not really a person who likes sharing my everyday life online =)
That s one of the reasons I m really happy to be part of the Product Hunt community.

I like being able to stay in touch with like-minded people and have everyday conversations about things we re building, learning, and interested in.
But I understand that social media is a big part of today s lifestyle, and it s absolutely great that it gives people a way to connect, share, and find each other.

So, I m curious:

Do you have social media as a maker?

How do you make the role choice obvious in a two-sided product?

Every two-sided product has this moment: someone lands on your page and has to figure out which side they re on before anything else makes sense. One side has capacity to offer, the other wants access to it.

I ve cycled through three approaches and none of them feel solved:

Split hero, two CTAs. Clean in a mockup. In practice people read both columns, compare them, and stall. The decision gets heavier because you ve made it look like a decision.

One CTA, branch after signup. Converts better at the top. But a chunk of people pick the wrong path and have to back out, which is worse than stalling.
