Hank 0bc9aa97ba docs: make the Obtainium add link a real clickable link
Forgejo keeps obtainium:// URLs in markdown links (verified via the render API) but
not as bare autolinks — so use [text](obtainium://…) syntax in INSTALL.md and README.

# Install BigBrainParking
BigBrainParking is distributed through **Obtainium** — a free, open-source app updater.
No Google Play, no account. Works great on **GrapheneOS** and any Android phone.
## 1. Get Obtainium (once)
Install Obtainium from **F-Droid** or its GitHub releases:
- F-Droid / IzzyOnDroid: search "Obtainium"
- or https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium/releases (grab the `.apk`)
## 2. Add BigBrainParking
**Easiest — one tap** (on your phone, with Obtainium installed):
### [Add BigBrainParking to Obtainium](obtainium://add/https://git.mowden.top/hank/BigBrainParking)
That opens Obtainium's Add screen pre-filled — just tap **Add**. (If your Markdown viewer
strips the link, copy this into a browser on the phone:
`obtainium://add/https://git.mowden.top/hank/BigBrainParking`)
**Manual (if the link doesn't work):**
1. Open Obtainium → **Add App**.
2. Paste the source URL:
```
https://git.mowden.top/hank/BigBrainParking
```
3. If asked for a source type, choose **Forgejo** (git.mowden.top runs Forgejo).
4. Tap **Add**.
## 3. Install & update
Obtainium shows the latest version — tap **Install**. GrapheneOS/Android will ask you to
allow installs from Obtainium the first time; approve it.
From then on, Obtainium notifies you when a new version is released and updates in a tap.
## Notifications (optional)
Parking-expiry reminders work on-device with **no Google services**. For any future
server-pushed notifications, install **ntfy** (F-Droid) and set it as your UnifiedPush
distributor — BigBrainParking will use it automatically.
## Notes
- Unofficial client for the ParkSmarter (IPS Group) parking system. Not affiliated with or
endorsed by IPS Group. Use with your own ParkSmarter account.
