It facilitates the discovery of popular and well-maintained projects which might be challenging to locate on the regular F-Droid website.\n\n## Motivation\n\nF-Droid is the best app store to find FOSS Android apps.\n\nIt allows thousands of independent developers to freely publish their apps and making them available to the general public.\n\nOperating solely on donations to sustain their infrastructure, F-Droid offers an ad-free experience, without any premium features or sponsored apps.\n\nOn top of that they also don't track their users, you don't even need an account to download apps.\nHowever, the lack of information regarding app metrics (download count, similar apps) represents a challenge when selecting among multiple options.\n\nThe idea behind **F-Droid Insights** is to leverage external metrics to help finding popular and well-maintained F-Droid apps.\n\n## Usage\n\nThe data should be re-generated every monday.\n\nIf you want to manually create an export:\n\n- Download `index-v2.json` from [F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/en/docs/All_our_APIs) (~35 MB file).\n- Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and fill it with your own tokens.\n- `python fdroid_data_exporter.py`: will create `export.csv` containing F-Droid apps data.\n- `python fdroid_html_builder.py`: will create `docs/index.html` with `export.csv` and `template.html`.\n\n## External data\n\n- Github: number of stars, forks\n- Gitlab : number of stars, forks\n- Codeberg : number of stars, forks\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdbeley%2Ffdroid-insights","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fdbeley%2Ffdroid-insights","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdbeley%2Ffdroid-insights/lists"}
