This is good news for F-Droid.

I just wish F-Droid had a better design but I guess that's just the nature of OSS. It always looked a bit shady and out-of-date, which probably hurts it's popularity.

Someone started a G-Droid project[1] with the goal of being a better local client for F-Droid. It's not a full replacement yet, but has many additional features and a better UI. Hope it takes off and perhaps gets integrated into the main client some day.

Well, throw them a couple of bucks a month, they have a donation button on their homepage ;)

But the design is fine, at least with dark theme. For me, the UX is better than Play Market.
