Fossify apps pick up where Simple Mobile Tools left off (free and open source suite of Android apps)

When the lead developer behind Simple Mobile Tools sold the business to ZipApps last year, many long-time users of this suite of simple, free, and open source Android apps were wary.

since #SimpleMobileApps has been sold to ZipoApps (https://github.com/SimpleMobileTools/General-Discussion/issues/241)… can anyone suggest a simple, open-source image editor app (that at least supports cropping)?
