Keeping up with app development...

Apparently Aurora Droid has been recently deprecated.
<https://gitlab.com/AuroraOSS/auroradroid>

It was a better front end to the F-Droid repository.
<https://github.com/f-droid>

But there is an even better new F-Droid Basic front end now.
<https://f-droid.org/packages/org.fdroid.basic/>

*F-Droid Basic*
The minimal client app for the app store that respects freedom and privacy
The Basic version of F-Droid Client has a reduced feature set
(e.g. no nearby share and no panic feature).

It targets Android 13 and can do unattended updates without privileged
extension or root.

F-Droid is an installable catalogue of libre software apps for Android.

The F-Droid client app makes it easy to browse, install, and to easily
keep track of updates on your device.

It connects to any F-Droid compatible repositories.

The default repo is hosted at f-droid.org, which contains only bona fide
libre software.

Android itself is open in the sense that you are free to install APKs
from anywhere you wish, but there are many good reasons for using
F-Droid as your libre software app manager:
* Get notified when updates are available
* Optionally download and install updates automatically
* Keep track of older and beta versions
* Filter out apps incompatible with the device
* Find apps via categories and searchable descriptions
* Access associated URLs for donations, source code etc.
* Stay safe by checking repo index signatures and APK hashes
