I came across this tool/platform which looked like a useful way to get more functionality out of your android device if you're trying to avoid proprietary services https://www.openapk.net/

How's this different from F-droid?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago (4 children)

Good question 🤔 it's a progressive web app rather than 'app'. If FDroid uses the same sources then the functionality will presumably be similar

Does it auto update apps?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

No. But you can use it to find interesting apps, and then use either F-Droid/Droid-ify to search the app name and install it, or by copying the URL for the GitHub/Gitlab repo linked on OpenAPK for an app into Obtainium. That way you'll get updates.
