@brustschmerz @fdroidorg I totally agree that everyone should make their own choice, but I don't think project like F-Droid which we trust to be Android front and center for pure #foss should promote repositories with proprietary software on social media.

@gutigen @brustschmerz

Like #yalp store (which we tooted about occasionally as well) #izzy's repo can be seen as an intermediate step for people not (yet) comfortable with using only the fully free main #fdroid repo. In that sense it's very valuable to the #foss ecosystem. Except 2 apps everything these is under an open source license though it might not satisfy the stricter inclusion requirements of the main repo.

@fdroidorg @gutigen @brustschmerz I wouldn't mind if more proprietary apps were available via F-Droid. My phone doesn't have Google Play, but I still need a few proprietary apps like Whatsapp. With Yalp, there is always a chance that Google will shut it down.

@nutomic you could use something like this https://github.com/NoMore201/playmaker

@novaphoenix That looks interesting, but I have to host my own server? Or is there a public instance?

@nutomic I recommend hosting your own so you can choose the apps, not sure if any public instances exist

@fdroidorg

That makes me think : once in the app list / app details we don't see from wich repo the app will be installed.
So if I add this repo I won't ask myself : is this app FOSS or should I check?

@gutigen @brustschmerz

@Zykino @gutigen @brustschmerz yes, this is something fdroid client needs to address better in the future. Multi repo support is working but still has some usability kinks to work out. Repo priority is one of them.
