I just noticed today that Signal (not talking Molly) is now available on F-Droid via the “Guardian” repository.

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up.

    Yes true! Forgot about Obtainium. Personally I’m not much tempted because all it does is swap out F-Droid for Github (i.e. Microsoft) as the middleman. But I agree that it’s definitely a win for convenience.

    PS: Turns out Obtainium is source-agnostic. Good news.

      Of course Github is just an example but you can pretty much regex any URL and further filter out anything in order to get the apk link with it. So depending on your level of privacy requirement and trusted sources, you can skip all the centralized ones and build your own list of sources.

        So it does! OK so this is pretty close to a decent solution after all (the ideal one being IMO exactly the same thing but native to the OS). Thanks for the correction.
