Well, some members of F-Droid’s central board resigned nearly a year ago, citing issues that had been ongoing for a long time prior. Statement posted to Gitlab.

I’ve been slowly moving my app installations over to Obtainium ever since, and have been using NeoStore for the remaining F-Droid/Izzy installations.

But I’m going to use them eventually, I swear!

Simple Gallery Pro and OsmAnd+ both follow this methodology as well.
