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:

2. Add BigBrainParking

Easiest — one tap (on your phone, with Obtainium installed):

Add BigBrainParking to Obtainium

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.
