Are there any repos worth adding?

Bromite is highly outdated. I strongly recommend either adding the Cromite repo, or the DivestOS repo for their Mull or Mulch.

Thank-you for this.

I've been using FDroid for some years but rarely see a list like this.

Yeah, I hear it often from people who tried it. Still worth a shot once in a while, as long as they keep updating it

The Izzy repo may be popular but with getting more than 1000 apps in that repo which are also in the main F-Droid repo I've been hesitant to add it. What happens when Izzy repo has a newer version than the F-Droid repo ? The main F-Droid repo goes for reproducible builds and checks for closed source software and more. Izzy repo downloads from the app upstream, does a malware check and that is all it seems.

I've been using Droidify. It supports background updates and has a nice UI.

It'll be nice if I can add an app to a wishlist.

lud@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Why? All the apps are free, just download the apps you want immediately.

I use my wishlists like bookmarks 😬

Yes, just as @acetanilide said. I use it as a wishlist so I can check it out later when I have time.
