How's this different from F-droid?
- Good question 🤔 it's a progressive web app rather than 'app'. If FDroid uses the same sources then the functionality will presumably be similar
  
  It uses FDroid and GitHub as sources

  Nice for discovery, but I'd still recommend actually installing the apps using either F-Droid/Droid-ify, or by adding the GitHub/Gitlab repo linked on OpenAPK for an app to Obtainium. That way you'll get updates.
  
  Does it auto update apps?
