Added suggestions apps for various categories

Open DodoLeDev opened this issue 2 years ago • 7 comments

Hi!

Because the concept of this project is simply genius, I just couldn't resist contributing! :yum:

Here is the PR of some of the alt apps that could be used to increase users' freedom and privacy!

Here are my observations:

  1. The number of suggestions for each ID/file/category must be as small as possible. This project does not intend to catalogue all the alternatives available in the wild, it attempts to make it easy for a user to get started with an alternative. For example, if a catagory already has a suggestion that met all the criteria, there's no point in accepting another app with the same or less criteria (app_stores already has a F-Droid client as well as Aurora Store, the only other suggestion could be Obtainium, but it hasn't been reviewed yet). If there exists a better alternative than the existing ones, it must be defended.
  2. It's preferable to open separate issues/PRs for each suggestion, because we need to review a lot of things before accepting an app (example: https://github.com/MuntashirAkon/android-debloat-list/pull/27#issuecomment-1649661992). For this PR, it might take many months to review it. It's also a good idea to search for the app you're adding because chances are there's already some reviews and discussions available for it along with the reasons for not considering it (example: #28)

Suggestion need some basic investigations for quality based on their usability apps

  1. reason (optional) ≠ short description of apps.
  2. Check with some tools (e.g: AM) for trackers. If trackers exist > test if disabled by default > if not sure search in their issue tracker.
  3. If F-Droid AntiFeature exist then search their issue tracker. (Untill they implement a better way to manage AF notes with index v2)
  4. If same flavour used in all appstores & ID same or different. Usually we pick ID used by F-Droid because of FLOSS flavours.
  5. Important : Test on your device, you're welcome to post your extended personal review/test results about the app.

Official criteria & contribution guidelines mentioned in README page.

Hello! Thank you for reviewing my PR!

Thanks to your comments, I now better understand what are the selection criterias.

And I agree with most of your opinions about apps usability and interface preferences. I just thought that the goal was to fill the list with reviewed alteratives, but I was wrong!

I will adjust the content of my pull request based on your code reviews and I will add some apps review to support my choices.

Oops, sorry for being inactive for so long, but I'm currently focusing on my studies and I forgot about this thing...

I'll try to share some updates on the next days
