      Your “PSA” directly contradicts one of the points this dude makes in his video where he criticizes the fact that F-Droid supports multiple repos. His reasoning being it violates Android policy or some such. As if I’d care what Google wants, lol.

      I don’t like this video. Didn’t watch to the end, but it didn’t seem like he had a better alternative. He comes off as someone that had his app rejected by F-Droid. Not saying that’s the case.

      While F-Droid surely could improve its update speed, especially regarding security updates. The very reason that other repos are supported allows to get speedier updates.

      Btw, I don’t even use the official F-Droid APK, there are better alternatives, from a usability point of view. Check out Neo Store. And Obtanium sounds interesting too.

        I checked out Neo Store and I just don’t know what to say. It’s design is just… weird…

        For example having the categories as vertical text or those huge buttons in the bottom nav bar with disappearing title when selected. Or this “New apps” row that scrolls horizontally. Its funny how this app only made design decisions I’d never thought I’d see in an Android app 🤣 And I’m not sure those design elements follow the Material 3 design guidelines, but I didn’t investigate.

        Not criticising your preferences though. It’s great you like it 😃👍

          I use Obtainium for the few apps I use that aren’t available on any store (nor Google nor F-Droid nor third-party F-Droid).

          But, I won’t replace F-Droid (or, in my case, Neo Store as well) with it, because regardless of UI, it’s bad UX : search results lack relevance and details, apps don’t updates in background and some require choosing the APK every time despite always choosing the same one.

    I really want to use Eternity as my main app but it fails to load any threads from my inbox so I have to use another app to reply to people.
