Triggertrap app for Android 7.0

Hi all,

I just read the article on app-based camera triggers and remembered my triggertrap "device". So I wanted to revive that but ... there is no app in the playstore (anymore).

I used to use it with an iphone 4 (I admit I didn't even install it on my iphone 5s) but I switched to android recently and now I would like to use the triggertrap again I can't. I did find out that the software became open source and I did find something on github (link) but I don't know how to use that. From an internet search I learned that I should be able to "side load" an app to my android phone, but since I don't have an app to load I haven't looked into that yet.

So my questions:

1. Can somebody point me to a triggertrap compatible app for my android 7.0 phone?

2. Or, if (1) doesn't exist, can you point me to a how-to for creating (and "side loading") such an app from the at github available software?
I don't have any experience with coding software and only switched to android in early july so what I am looking for with option (2) is something at the "app creation for dummies" level.

Or am I to optimistic about this and should I just forget my triggertrap (again)?
