uTox – The Lightweight Tox Client
3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 15 Jun 2023

Bonus suggestion: My friend is still working on aTox https://github.com/evilcorpltd/aTox/ (Tox for android) and it's an *easy* recommendation to make. The client is awesome, and if you're gonna use a messenger, it probably should be from your phone :)

Amethyst an Android Nostr client removed from F-Droid

Gitlab pipeline - checkupdate stage failed
3 projects | /r/fdroid | 30 May 2023

You should add a new entry in "Builds". Have a look at how Newpipe does it for each new version here for example.
Google account deleted after 2 hours of Aurora
2 projects | /r/degoogle | 27 May 2023

To me it's not very clear whether those terms practically apply only to their app, since clearly they can't grab logs from Aurora if Aurora doesn't dump those logs for example... but if this is something the F-Droid team should look into, open an issue on https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/issues or inquire in one of their official channels on OFTC (#fdroid) or Matrix (#fdroid:f-droid.org).
Amethyst (nostr client) is not FOSS

difference between the various Osmand versions - and f-droid
2 projects | /r/OsmAnd | 16 May 2023

OsmAnd~ from F-Droid not having Android Auto is a known bug: see the discussions at https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/issues/2567 , https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd/issues/13514, https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd/issues/3391 and https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd/issues/15400
How to discover new FOSS apps?
1 project | /r/fdroid | 5 May 2023

You can also get F-Droid Build Status which I believe will let you see apps that are being attempted to be built even if their build isn't succeeding yet, again for the "catching things early experience". Or, just keep an eye on the issues, merge requests and commits at fdroiddata which is where people actually add new metadata for new apps to be built by F-Droid, and it often takes a while between an app being first mentioned, and it being able to be included, for many possible reasons.
