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

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.

How spotify got into fdroid?
F-Droid is for app delivery in general. Only apps from the official f-droid repository are guaranteed FOSS. Third party repos can provide any app they'd like, even proprietary ones. The (unofficial Firefox)[https://gitlab.com/rfc2822/fdroid-firefox] repo for example provides Spotify even though it is not FOSS. If you just have it for Firefox, a FOSS fork is also available in the official F-Droid repo, but under the name "Fennec".

Custom F-Droid Repository with Apps from Play Store
I recently stumbled upon this project https://gitlab.com/rfc2822/fdroid-firefox. It's very handy. It automatically downloads APKs from Github or release pages and publishes an F-Droid repository on Gitlab Pages.

Why wouldn't Signal be listed in f-droid? Is there a more reliable SMS (FOSS) program?
It is on f-droid but you need to add a repository: https://gitlab.com/rfc2822/fdroid-firefox#firefox-f-droid-repo-unofficial . alternatively install the apk from signal: https://signal.org/android/apk/ as it self-updates
