Hello everyone, I recently developed a website called F-Droid Insights, which is a simple website that let you explore F-Droid apps enriched by data coming from external websites such as Github.

F-Droid is amazing and serves as my main source to find Android apps. Unfortunately it can be difficult to discover new apps there, as F-Droid lacks a method to estimate the popularity of a project. F-Droid Insights incorporates repository information (number of stars, number of forks) coming from Github, Gitlab and Codeberg.

A few notes:

To create filters (in order to see all apps from the "Games" category or to filter out apps hosted on github) you can use the Custom Search Builder located at the bottom of the page.

The first page load can be quite slow on mobile devices, just wait for the page to be completely loaded and it should be fine.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

One issue which I found. Pagination, please add automatic scrolling to the top after selecting next or previous page. Maybe more items per page?

Finally I can find popular apps :) Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestions, I added more options on the "show entries" field (including an "all" option) and enabled the option to automatically scroll to the next when changing the page. Hope it's useful!
