Awesome Android Apps

AAA

Hi all,

for 2 years, sporadically, I've been adding awesome FOSS apps with the following:

Rules

  • Open Sourced
  • Free of charge (on F-Droid and source code repository releases)
  • Free as in Freedom
  • Ad-free
  • Installed and tested by me or by contributor
  • Privacy-friendly aware
  • Easy to use
  • Still in development or polished experience
  • Does not lack features compared to proprietary app
  • Does not need an account (the only exceptions are self-hosted) apps)
  • Has dark theme

...tested by my and then later by contributors. I think many of you will appreciate this simple README.md repo, and I would love some help with it.

🏔️ Codeberg version

I hope you will find it useful! 🤩

Feature request: Describe each app. At least what it does (beyond just the category)

I tried to have this list as concise as possible. Probably it shouldn't even scale vertically - better horizontally, preferably with responsive design. However, how would you like it implemented? Every so often, I add necessary comments:

Like this

See Trackers for example.

So in the end I just wanted to create a list that if someone is interested in some app, he can click links and read about this app in Source Code repo or F-Droid. Yet, I was thinking of maybe F-Droid information dynamically scrapped into static site with "approved" apps but idk.

Those comments in the tracker section are good, just a one line summary kind of thing for all of them would be a nice improvement.
I'm not asking for full F-Droid information (but if you want to include it, maybe put it in a tap-to-show sliding thing (sorry, I don't do web dev) )

Yeah but sometimes it is hard but good idea. :) Me neither haha that's why I do MarkDown

Github accepts the details HTML tag as part of Markdown. You could use that to put there a description and it would only be visible if you expand it.

Yeah, I know that, but maybe it's my personal preference that I try to use pure MarkDown when HTML is unclean with a mix of it. You probably meant something like here:

<details>
  <summary>Table of Contents</summary>
  <ol>
    <li>Installing</li>
    <li>Shortcuts</li>
    <li>Features</li>
    <li>Dependencies</li>
    <li>Usage</li>
    <li>Building</li>
    <li>Translating</li>
    <li>Supported Languages</li>
    <li>License</li>
  </ol>
</details>

Yeah, that's exactly what I meant. But I get that you want to avoid HTML if possible.
If you find a pure markdown alternative, let me know, I was looking at options a while back for a repo and settled on the HTML tag.

I was thinking about it but it generates many lines when MarkDown is simple.

There is no alternative as far I know due to MarkDown renderer.

Same for setting size for images or centering something.
