    There’s so many scary vibecoded apps being announced on here. Forgive us if we have stopped even looking into these.

    Security seems to be an afterthought in almost every single one. I’d be shocked if I were wrong at this point. Advice to repo owner since they need the LLM to do anything: take a step back and have your LLM brutally criticize your work before the rest of us get PWNED by your malicious lack of critical thinking and due diligence.

    Ps. If you ever think to yourself, “why hasn’t this been done before?” That’s probably a good sign that it is for one of the following reasons:

    • it is next to impossible to implement this idea without MAJOR security issues (and you don’t know enough about the major hurdles that actually secure apps have to clear in order to be released by a self-respecting coder)
    • someone HAS released something similar and you haven’t bothered to check
    • it’s simply not a great idea

      Nothing relevant to this app. But FDroid only has apps that have been submitted to it. This allows installation and updates of any apps with releases published to GitHub.

      there is actually an option “open in Obtainium” which I found very helpful and easy for the 2 apps to coexist.

    This is interesting, but Obtainium exists and this won’t stop Google from preventing installing things outside of the play store.
