What kinda good stuff is on F Droid they the average User might want?
This list obviously isn't everything, but there's a lot available. I kept it pretty broad although there's a ton of niche and specialized software available too.
OpenTracks - Keep track of how many steps you take throughout the day without a smart watch.
K9Mail - A privacy oriented mail client alternative to the Gmail app.
Diaguard - A diabetes diary app to track your blood sugar.
Drinkable - List a few ingredients and what liquor you have at home and it gives you a list of drinks you can make.
Newpipe - A YouTube client without ads.
Libretube - Another YouTube client without ads.
Blood Pressure Monitor - Same thing as the diabetes, but great if you have high blood pressure you need to track.
ChordReader 2 - Get guitar chords to learn how to play songs.
Fennic - A web browser based on Firefox that's privacy oriented.
Red Moon - Makes looking at your phone easier on your eyes at night.
Literally can't say enough good stuff about Newpipe.
Everything YouTube SHOULD be, this is. LISTEN TO A VIDEO IN THE BACKGROUND!!!!!11. Playback speed infinitely adjustable- good for lectures, interviews, etc. No ads. No bullshit.
