Even you can use F-Droid with custom repos. Easy to use.

Actually, to gain visibility it needs multiple app stores, that points to the unique source of true, the manteiner repo.

The good news is that Nostr, empowered by NIP-89, naturally qualifies as multiple app store, with built in signatures.

normies do though, for being such sheep it is unbelievable how unable to follow technical directions they are.

Fact, but if you want to get your open source out to normal people then you need a one click solution
