 There is about 3000 people installing Amethyst through Obtainium instead of the PlayStore. I am very proud of you. 🫡  
 I prefer play store😂 
 E é só o início! Só não sacaneia a gente com track no Amethyst! 👀 
 Nice  
 🫂 
 Yeah since you sent those instructions awhile back I had to look into it. Nice not having to rely on the play store.  
 it was pretty easy and I like it more 

thanks @Vitor Pamplona

by the way, when I tried to @you through the popup menu, my app crashed repeatedly. copying the npub works fine 
 It's the Keyboard. Try AnySoft, unexpected keyboard, Gboard or Florisboard beta. 
 understood! 

been using Heliboard. ill try out anysoft or unexpected

thanks for the heads up  
 I believe this happens with certain keyboards only, I'm sure Victor knows about this one. Seeing it too with stock Graphene keyboard also 
 I've tried Obtainium twice now and both times I couldn't figure it out. 
 I figured it out and Im way dumber than you.

That said, when it doesn't work and its impossible to manually adjust as a newb 
 I'm dumber than people think. 
 The UX could be a lot better! I usually just drop in the GH release page and it works. I've had issues with it conflicting with Aurora Store updates though. 
 Exactly! Had the same issue with Aurora. Also have issues with For. Like you say, GH release pages seem to consistently work 
 Ok.  3rd time's a charm. 
 What does this mean .. can someone explain it for non technical guy like me?

 It's completely replaced fdroid for me. 😅

 What do you think of f-droid? 
 As centralized as the Play store. Just different overloads.  
 Could you tell the difference if i installed it through obtainium or got the apk directly from github releases? (Like with a browser or cURL) 
 It's the same but you have to update manually 
 How do you know ? 
 File Download metrics from the server 
 i just saw the request header and user agent params in Obtainium. Forgot that was there.

 3k? That's pretty impressive! You didn't count my download 2days ago so I'm sure it's much higher!
