Looking for a self hosted software store?
Different solutions may be better for the different file types than a single download centre for everything. For example, for APKs, there's f-droid. You could selfhost fdroidserver and add your own repo to the f-droid client. This way, the APKs are distributed via an app store that's searchable and can be configured to auto update.

Rock It! - Android app for rocket launches and space news
They were all on different days. I do test the app on my phone before releasing, and usually only release after not noticing anything for a few days of using the dev version. The reason for the time is a bug in the F-Droid server software that is used to generate the repo. The releases of GitHub have the correct date.

[DEV] Termux v0.118.0 Release
Note that F-Droid uses algorithm at https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidserver/-/blob/2.1a0/fdroidserver/build.py#L746 to automatically detect built APKs, so ensure any modifications to location or file name are compliant. Auto updates are detected by checkupdates bot at https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidserver/-/blob/master/fdroidserver/checkupdates.py

How to submit app to F-Droid main repo without cloning the huge repo?
Clone the fork onto your local machine. You'd need to use linux or mac (windows doesn't work). Install https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidserver.

Is NewPipe broken?
yep, sadly F-droid doesn't have enough people working on it to keep on top of google's "new" app signatures yet. There was some progress, but then I gave up waiting and added their own repo until it's fixed.

2.7M Brits still use a 3G only handset, as the 3G switch off looms closer
I have a 3G device still able to watch YT and a very old Kindle Fire that has NewPipe [1] installed for watching YT in bed (whilst my phone is on charge).
I don't see why not either - if the device was capable of H264 when it was released, why not now?
