I’ve been leaning more and more towards using fdroid just to find apps and then using Obtainium to install them directly from source.

Same. I’m using Obtanium anyway for things that are github-only, no real need to have the clunky fdroid client installed as well.

I think I remember something about that, but I didn’t pay much attention to it at the time. I feel like whatever it was, it was rather recent, though.
