Excited to announce #Catima is in the top 5% of most popular apps on #IzzyOnDroid, ranking place 62 of 1307.

Even more excited to see our new IzzyOnDroid download statistics, supported by #NLNet, land in #NeoStore!

Curious as to how it works? It's actually pretty simple! Server logs are fed, per server, into https://codeberg.org/IzzyOnDroid/iod-stats-builder and the results are summarized using https://codeberg.org/IzzyOnDroid/iod-stats-collector, creating easy to consume JSON files. Then, Neo Store consumes them :)

This week in #FDroid (TWIF) is live but late to toot:

Installing FOSS apps on your phone sometimes certainly feels like an eternal XKCD 927 purgatory.

- Apps by GrapheneOS for some GrapheneOS apps (and assorted other apps).
- Obtainium for installing apps directly from source/repos.
- Neo Store for installing apps who cannot be arsed to have .apk files in their repos (#AntennaPod), yet without dealing with the typical F-Droid shenanigans.
- Accrescent, because hell, why not! The more, the merrier!
- And, of course, Google Play Store for the corporate goblins.
