I recommend using Obtainium. It is not a store by himself but it is compatible with a lot of stores including github.
Yeah, I also thought about Obtanium. Mind those are two different approaches. F-Droid builds things from source, removes trackers and invading libraries, sometimes patches something and there are maintainers who have an independent look at things. Obtanium just fetches what the original developers uploaded to Github and installs it on your device. For the better or worse.
Thanks! I'll look it up!
Is there something like obtainium with the ability to build from source?
Github isn't a "store". It's just upstream repos where the owner can upload any artifact they like.
didn't say it was, and that wasn't even the point
