      Yes! It’s much nicer than fdroid.

        Not only nicer looking, but comes preinstalled with multiple repos

        Installed it, and uninstalled regulär fdroid itself

    Yeah I always look for apps on fdroid first if I need something. It doesn’t have everything but a lot of the time there are great FOSS apps available.

    I also love that you can filter apps for different criteria such as privacy, close source dependencies etc.

    It’s a great project. Reminds me I should tip them some for their great work.

      Me too, and if it’s not there then I recently discovered Aurora Store which let’s you download from Google Play anonymously and is itself available on F-Droid.

      Reminds me I should tip them

      Nice try, Philip J. Fry!

        How’s the Aurora Store working right now? Last time I used it, anonymous accounts started getting rate-limited pretty severly, rendering it quite painful to use

          The latest versions of Aurora store have a setting to automatically search in the browser which evades the playstore-side rate limiting. It’s a little annoying, but that’s on playstore, not aurora.

            Good to hear. I decided to become completely independant from the Play Store when that happened and actually managed to do it, but that’s obviously not an option for everyone.
