F-Droid: Android FOSS app store
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.

# of app downloads
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.

Little bit context for those trying to decypher who is who, since some of the places show username, but others Gitlab display name.

Official CDN-delievered F-droid mirror is up
With the efforts in https://gitlab.com/fdroid/admin/-/issues/230, finally the official F-droid.org mirror is up and running:
-
Why F-droid have to download complete list of app metadata everytime to show just frontpage?
~5MB isn't so resource hungry. Also, try to add the repo fdroidgoes.live/repo to the client as described at https://gitlab.com/fdroid/admin/-/issues/229. It's delivered via CDN so it's faster and will be even faster when more people use it. Soon it will be cloudflare.f-droid.org.
- IMPORTANT: Use of CDN(cloudflare et al.)
-
Should I install the F-Droid apk without verifying the GPG signature?
I reset my phone and I didn't install the F-Droid apk because the GPG key is (still) expired.
