They must have a lot of overhead for just a handful of apps. If they provided a better catalogue, it would be more popular and have a greater chance of garnering more donations.
No, the apps they serve are essential to be secure and safe. I get the ambitions but if you get what they offer now almost guaranteed safe, you can build your installed from that
yeah, it’s a wasteland that lost the fight with Obtanium I guess.
I expect thorough review from a trusted repo, and verified signatures. You don't really know what you get with Obtainium piping hot from GitHub.
If only they served essential apps (like they are doing now) so you can ease your mind with a fresh install, to build on top other apps you use. It might not be what we have dreamed, but that is still an unpriceable win.
I mean what does it provide? Fdroid but fewer apps?
