I also use Breezy Weather, it is really aesthetically pleasing.

I also use breezy, but i choose fdroid builds whenever possible. I appreciate the extra code monitoring/verification.

I used to use it, but now use Weather Master that's available through izzyonddroid. It's even more aesthetically pleasing imo and also let's you choose from more sources.

Nice... But it doesn't allow data sharing (to Gadgetbridge, for example). So it's a no go for me, thanks!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 hours ago

I use it because it doesn't need location services i can set it manually. But still it's good

One. Lawnchair.

I see some apps there that are also in F-Droid

Is there a big benefit to Obtanium for apps that are also released there? My understanding is that Obtanium doesn't do any key verification of APKs, so I've only used it as a last resort

on Fdroid updates are slow ( you'll get update after 2-3 days) Obtainium works with app verifier.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

I have 20, but anytime an fdroid app updates I move it to obtainium. I don't have time to review all in one go. But I'm sure the number will get to around 50 eventually when I'm done moving all f-Droid items to obtainium

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 hours ago

11 including Obtainium

OSS document ftw.

10, I probably could have more, but some are auto updated with Droidify and sometimes their inbuilt updater, tbh it is kinda a stressing factor to me knowing that I could have more apps there but I maybe don't know lol.

How many of them are "manual"? I mean, ones you had to configure goes to scrape from whatever website they are hosted on, etc.

I only have eight apps, and even then only one "manual". It's the most important one though... 🦜

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

All of them are manually added. It took me around 6 months

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

A list? Or the ones you would suggest to people

4 but none other than obtaining seems to be getting any updates lately, so kinda moot

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

Lmao same. Obtainium feels like the app that you use for Obtainium to update itself.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

Maybe you don't use that many apps
