Been using this for months and never hear anyone talk about it. Faster updates than from F-Droid is nice.

    Why would I use this? How’s this different from using e.g izzyOnDroid’s repo that also collects releases from github?

    The clickbaity video on the readme doesnt help.

      You don’t have to wait for Izzy to do its thing, which may take days to get an update to you. This will grab from the source directly without a middleman, checking the source however many times per day that you set it to. I guess you could consider Obtainium to be a middleman, but that’s better than relying of Izzy and F-Droid to be your middlemen.

          Also, not everything is going to be available on an F-Droid repo. Just off the top of my head, all these new Lemmy clients popping up. Because they are so new, I doubt you’ll find them on Izzy yet.
