Fossdroid.com: Free and open source Android applications

I really like the popular "popular" sections, the one thing that's missing from f-droid. What could be improved: 1. HTTPS, especially for APK downloads 2. Information about the APKs: built/signed by whom

Thanks for the suggestions :)

Would be nice to have a 'Suggest an app' feature on the site.

Any advantages or differences over F-Droid, sans the glossier UI?

Popularity data, just this...it's a side project :)

Why not contribute to F-Droid, rather than 'reinvent the wheel?' https://f-droid.org/contribute/

Your site looks great and I don't mean to take anything away from it, but when I see something like this I think of it as merely an art project, something I might see on Dribbble. I would never download APKs from here for example, but have no problem trusting F-Droid's APKs.

Competition is contribution.

The relationship between LLVM and GCC is an example for this aphorism.

I know, it's a side project to learn Symfony 2. I love F-Droid project so i made this web app, I've contacted the authors of F-droid before doing this. Thanks :)
