F-Droid: Android FOSS app store
10 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 20 Oct 2023

This is the discussion on implementing a popcon-style feature in F-Droid if you want to read through where the project got to: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidclient/-/issues/396
First fully commercial, paid app requiring a key to function at all in main F-Droid repo! (Or is a free ad for the app?)

Meanwhile, the Latest tab "highlights good descriptions" (meaning in other words that it "hides" apps not meeting certain metadata criteria, even if they're completely free - as in speech and in beer - apps), which was not free of some irony, and was discussed at length with apparent consensus to change it but then every time it was back to square one. Because "Latest" apparently doesn't mean "Latest" and people don't get the nuances of English. Not kidding. Read the issue.

Basically, not at present, I think. It's happened for some time, and for a longer time in the past, it's been discussed multiple times, but I don't think right now there's any effort in this direction.

droidVNC-NG: VNC server app that does not require root privileges.
New open-source Android VNC server droidVNC-NG looking for contributions
1 project | dev.to | 17 Jan 2021

The Android VNC server project droidVNC-NG just reached version 1.0.0 and is now looking for contributors to further improve the code and add features. It's a VNC server using contemporary Android 5+ APIs and therefore does not require root access. GPL-2, mostly authored by me and named droidVNC-NG in reverence to the original droidVNC server.
