obtainium this it? https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium
cool idea and will be even better when we can get off github to nostr
TIL: You can use Obtainium as a complete f-droid client replacement
Obtainium just keeps surprising me. Yesterday through nostr:npub1tr4dstaptd2sp98h7hlysp8qle6mw7wmauhfkgz3rmxdd8ndprusnw2y5g I found out you can add f-droid apps (even from 3rd party repos) to Obtainium and even search for them!
I tried to migrate all my f-droid apps to it and managed to do it. I even uninstall the fdroid client I was using: droid-fy.

This does not depend on github at all, it's just an apk retriever and github is just a common source.
It's up to devs to host apks elsewhere and some do so on their websites.
Nostr shines for light text notes over relays not huge chunks of binary data no relay wants to host. Don't fall for the cult, nostr is not the solution to everything, always look for the right tool for the job.
nostr is likely not the right solution for nostr, it will change, p2p will come
if a server somewhere can host an apk i don't see why a relay couldnt, but nostr will likely serve as the catalog with other resources serving the apk
