Use obtanium so you don't need to use the play store to get the play store version.
I do t know anything about obtainium, but will look into it!
Why Obtanium instead of F-droid? Or are they for different use cases
Obtanium is much faster to get the update, plus you get push notifications of updates instead of possibly not getting them on f-droid.
Gotcha. So it sounds like f-droid may be more for those with a security preference of manual-only updates, and obtanium is more about permissionless access to the content that everyone gets, without needing to go through Google. Thanks!
That's a pretty decent summary. F-droid is pretty archaic, and I'd like to see more devs also support obtanium.
