Interesting, it seems to address some of the security flaws F-Droid has; it would be nice to see where this project goes once it's a bit more mature

Sadly, cant try this due to the support being for Android 12+ only. Pretty exciting features though.

It is actually Android 10+, but I think the automatic updates only work for Android 12+ :)

I have it a try and it still has some growth ahead before it is useful in my eyes.

Edit: correction, the latest release is still Android 12+, but the next release will support 10+

Last I used it (before uninstalling) there was absolutely no information on the apps listed in their "store." That should have been a feature from the beginning. I support the vision but I feel like it'll be a looong time before it's usable.
