Awesome Android Apps

AAA

Hi all,

for 2 years, sporadically, I've been adding awesome FOSS apps with the following:

Rules

  • Open Sourced
  • Free of charge (on F-Droid and source code repository releases)
  • Free as in Freedom
  • Ad-free
  • Installed and tested by me or by contributor
  • Privacy-friendly aware
  • Easy to use
  • Still in development or polished experience
  • Does not lack features compared to proprietary app
  • Does not need an account (the only exceptions are self-hosted) apps)
  • Has dark theme

...tested by my and then later by contributors. I think many of you will appreciate this simple README.md repo, and I would love some help with it.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ Codeberg version

I hope you will find it useful! ๐Ÿคฉ

Also this goes to show that F-droid needs a rating system IMO ๐Ÿซ

Calling the anti-features indicator a rating system is a biiiiiit of a stretch.

How would you implement it then? ๐Ÿค”

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I wouldn't because I am not a dev. I stay in my wheelhouse and don't try to pitch features as something they aren't.

The concept of it wouldn't require code, just some idea to implement that you don't have to agree to do. I'm just trying to get your point and visualize through creativity and brainstorm.
