I think every code/device from governements should be open-sourced, as that encourages both better code quality and respect of xxx (be it privacy, rights...).
It's nice they release it. Do they plan to show the code?

Yes. I don't know when but they will. I heard the app should launch in June, so I expect to see code in the next week's.

Yeah transparency is key. If there is no trust in the app, nobody will use it. The germans are general speaking very sceptic in terms of data privacy.
