Because fdroid sucks:

- Only allows FOSS apps

- No reputation layer

- No social layer

- Delay for listing new apps

- Delay for publishing updates

- Looks like shit, normies will not use it

Fdroid is also extremely insecure:

I mainly use Obtainium and Github release urls. Some apps are unforunately only available via Fdroid.

You can install fdroid apps with Obtainium. It even works for 3rd party repos.

also if you hack a bit with regex you can turn every http page in a repo. I update whatsapp and electrum from obtanioum and versioning is handled like a charm

WhatsApp is supported out of the box (just pick the "WhatsApp source"), no need for regex tweaking!

yeah, electrum with proper version recognition is more challenging 😅
