Too bad Signal app could not be released in F-Droid repo

What's with the downvotes? Is it because of signal? An issue with this project in particular? Something else?
1 0 ReplyThat's my question

They have a few nice features, but them being a 3rd party client also adds overhead. They update every 2 weeks from upstream (with security patches as they become available + someone being able to merge them).
I think it being on F-Droid is a wrong "selling" point. F-Droid is great store, but they have nothing to do with security/freedom.
