Awesome new app I've never heard of before now, but makes keeping up with all the Android Nostr clients *so* much easier.

I don’t understand why not just get it from fdroid?

Gets them from everywhere

This just to get obtanium app from those services.

And there are security issues because of how fdroid signs updates which aren’t always immediately available, sometimes over 1week lag. Best work around until now was subscribing to every apps release page with rss and then manually update apps individually.

Fdroid is preferable due to citation and reproducible builds.

OTOH obtanium gives you access to every app that releases apks on github immediately without any lag period.

*I meant curation, not citation. Damned autocorrect.

This is amazing!
