Recently it's been Obtanium, basically it allows you to add apps which are hosted on GitHub/other app sources which don't have auto updating, and have them automatically check and offer to update!

It's been really useful for Lemmy clients (liftoff/Jerboa)/any android apps from:

GitHub

GitLab

Codeberg

F-Droid

IzzyOnDroid

Mullvad

Signal

SourceForge

SourceHut

APKMirror (Track-Only) APKPure

Third Party F-Droid Repos

Jenkins Jobs

Steam

Telegram App

VLC

Neutron Code

"HTML" (Fallback)

Thanks for sharing this one. It sounds really useful!

@Uranium_Green @Drhype #Obtanium is one of the best options out there imo. Updates come directly from the source.

You should try out GitHub Application Manager in Linux, too 😉 https://github.com/fmstrat/gam

You forgot the why.also telling us what these do, would be nice..

The only app I recommend was Obtanium, the rest of the listed things are app sources (places where open source apps are hosted, like GitHub)

Sorry if this wasn't clear!
