Monetisation and sustainability is a perennial with any and all open source projects. What the thread downplays by focusing on the same old discussions is an interesting and important technical aspect of this project: namely having a "group" of apps sharing a codebase.
This is not at all usual in the android space. F-Droid feels like a random collection of apps with largely independent codebases, lots of duplicate efforts for the same tasks etc.
The only other such coherent "group of apps" project that I am aware of is the collection of KDE Plasma apps (Qt/QML/Kirigami based).
Have not looked into the simplebmobiletools code and how re-usable / modular the various components are, but it seems their thinking is in the right direction.
