I've been using Droidify. It supports background updates and has a nice UI.

It'll be nice if I can add an app to a wishlist.

Why? All the apps are free, just download the apps you want immediately.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Yes, just as @acetanilide said. I use it as a wishlist so I can check it out later when I have time.

I use my wishlists like bookmarks 😬

Are there any repos worth adding?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The Izzy repo may be popular but with getting more than 1000 apps in that repo which are also in the main F-Droid repo I've been hesitant to add it. What happens when Izzy repo has a newer version than the F-Droid repo ? The main F-Droid repo goes for reproducible builds and checks for closed source software and more. Izzy repo downloads from the app upstream, does a malware check and that is all it seems.

All F-Droid Clients won't install the IzzyOnDroid version if you have the F-Droid one installed already because the signatures won't match, it's a basic Android security feature.
IzzyOnDroid is actually a bit stricter than that, see IzzySoft Fdroid Index Info & IzzySoft Fdroid Inclusion Policy.

Thank-you for this.

I've been using FDroid for some years but rarely see a list like this.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Bromite is highly outdated. I strongly recommend either adding the Cromite repo, or the DivestOS repo for their Mull or Mulch.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Mull is actually already in the official FDroid repo.
Adding it to the list still.
