Anyone else prefer an alternative app or front end for browsing f-droid ? I personally use Droid-ify for the more modern layout.

I've used it before. It's a solid alternative.

I like Droid-ify too, I think it has the nicest interface of all the F-Droid clients.

I think so too. It's so clean and modern. I only wish it would add newly installed apps to my home screen like how f-droid does.

Neo Store, every other frontend has some issues with my phone. They also have Neo Launcher, which seems to be the most promising foss launcher, and a few other Neo apps.

I use drodify. For UI and shizuku. Only wish is if auto updates could work.

I also use obtanium. Gets updates direct from GitHub release, handy if an app you want doesn't have a fdroid repo or you want faster updates.

Does obtainium index and search all the apk files on GitHub? Or do I need to know the url beforehand?
