I've got about 80% of my apps that would normally be on F-Droid installed through Obtainium (https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium), which handles Git releases (among other sources). The F-Droid client feels clunky and in the past I had some update errors that were annoying. With some improvements it should return to being a good discovery tool and app manager, so this is good news.
- einpoklum 2y agoIt seems that Obtainium "curates" apps, i.e. derives lists of downloadable apps, is by crowd-sourcing this task. See: https://apps.obtainium.imranr.dev/ https://apps.obtainium.imranr.dev/ I also believe the client is doesn't limit itself to FOSS.
- drewbitt 2y agoI was not aware of an Obtanium catalog like that. That's a nice feature that I see hidden at the bottom of the Add App screen. You can also use Obtanium to install from F-Droid sources and really just any apk, so it's superior in many ways, except in 1) discovery (which that catalog helps) 2) as devs aren't curating F-droid releases with care, sometimes it's a pain to setup, especially when a package is always `apk-latest` or something.
- raaron773 2y agoThis is interesting! I like the curated apps idea because it means I can search for more apps compared to fdroid.
