F-Droid Insights - Easily explore F-Droid apps with data from external sources (dbeley.github.io)

Hello everyone, I recently developed a website called F-Droid Insights, which is a simple website that let you explore F-Droid apps enriched by data coming from external websites such as Github.

F-Droid is amazing and serves as my main source to find Android apps. Unfortunately it can be difficult to discover new apps there, as F-Droid lacks a method to estimate the popularity of a project. F-Droid Insights incorporates repository information (number of stars, number of forks) coming from Github, Gitlab and Codeberg.

A few notes:

  • To create filters (in order to see all apps from the "Games" category or to filter out apps hosted on github) you can use the Custom Search Builder located at the bottom of the page.
  • The first page load can be quite slow on mobile devices, just wait for the page to be completely loaded and it should be fine.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

So … it’s similar to what g-droid does as an app?

Note: search only appears and works if datatables.net doesn’t get blocked
