- Imustaskforhelp 1y agoDo you have a personal grudge against F-droid? If you hate the UI, the UI isn't an end all be all. there is droidify which has a different UI/UX to the f-droid repository https://f-droid.org/packages/com.looker.droidify/ https://f-droid.org/packages/com.looker.droidify/ Download this but f-droid is not just the UI but rather it creates reproducible verified/audited android builds which can be installed easier and through multiple alternative frontends including drodify/f-droid official websites etc. >Companies should cater to customers who want something like FDroid? Yes. Why not? Can you give me reasons why not because I can give the reasons as to why.
