No #AndroidAppRain today? It's not that we were lazy. Your favorite cat and the ferret were rather busy looking for the 8th egg…

So just 5 apps updated today. One of them is Plexus, which returned to the #IzzyOnDroid repo on request of its authors, as at F-Droid their updates seem to be stuck. As Plexus was set up as reproducible build, you can easily update it from IoD now :awesome:

But now: enjoy your #free #Android #apps with the #IzzyOnDroid repo :awesome:

I know you're biased, but I'd like your take: should every F-Droid user be using your repo? What does the official repo offer that yours doesn't, and vice versa? (In terms of FOSS guarantees, safety, review process, speed of updates, etc.)

Also, how involved are you with the official repo?

@neatnit Hard to answer in toots, but for a short one: 1) if they need apps offered there, yes. 2) F-Droid builds from source, but #IzzyOnDroid has faster updates, more transparency concerning "what's inside the app" and other scanner results in the repo browser, plus additional checks in place, see eg. android.izzysoft.de/articles/n…

More details in another blog post hopefully ready towards the end of this month. But a comparison matrix should better be done by someone impartial 😉
