- ardani 7y agoTech generally arrives in the consumer space only after becoming the standard for developers. Literal wizards, they build from source.
- dTal 7y agoI don't think that's the case at all. F-Droid is very user-friendly. It supports advanced users, but then all software should.
- aasasd 7y agoNo. I myself use F-Droid, and my knowledge of Android development consists of editing a line in an XML file in AnkiDroid and rebuilding the app with Gradle like the readme says. And even if the share of nerds is higher among F-Droid users, I still don't think coders often go “wait, this app is open-source, let me build it myself instead of getting a binary.”
