They must have a lot of overhead for just a handful of apps. If they provided a better catalogue, it would be more popular and have a greater chance of garnering more donations.

yeah, it’s a wasteland that lost the fight with Obtanium I guess.

I expect thorough review from a trusted repo, and verified signatures. You don’t really know what you get with Obtainium piping hot from GitHub.

No, the apps they serve are essential to be secure and safe. I get the ambitions but if you get what they offer now almost guaranteed safe, you can build your installed from that

I mean what does it provide? Fdroid but fewer apps?

If only they served essential apps (like they are doing now) so you can ease your mind with a fresh install, to build on top other apps you use. It might not be what we have dreamed, but that is still an unpriceable win.
