Hi everyone this is my first post on here. I saw my other app called BeauTyXT posted here so I wondered why not post my newest app here.
You're viewing a single thread.
Can someone enlighten me oabout the specifics of the accrescent.app appstore?
I guess it's somewhat like Obtanium in that it fetches releases packed by the original developers, just plus an index, metadata and signing, thus more convenient and secure? I guess it's open-source and everything? What are the unique benefits?
I checked it out. This appstore has like 8 apps from which the majority is made by this developer. I wouldn't even be surprised if he's not trying to promote his app but the appstore instead. I'd not trust this store.
Please don't spread baseless claims. The majority of the apps on Accrescent as of writing are not made by me. Only 3 out of the 12 apps are. I have already stated if you don't want to get my app from Accrescent, then you don't have to. There are apk files released on GitHub releases, which the download section of the README.md talks about.
You're right, it's 12 and not 8 apps and 25% and not 51% your apps.
Thanks.
Have you read their FAQ at https://accrescent.app/faq ?
Sure. There isn't any paragraph on how it compares to other appstores or why the author started the project in the first place despite several other stores being available.
So I'm looking for the selling point. (Aside from your App being available there.)
For a comparison, the developer of Accrescent has said some of the differences in an issue for adding a comparison table (it hasn't been added yet). See https://github.com/accrescent/meta/issues/22#issuecomment-1780020882
The main selling points of Accrescent are no accounts required, unattended updates without root (on Android 12+), developers always sign their own apps, and the security properties of Accrescent which means even if Accrescent's servers gets compromised, attackers can't do something like replacing an existing app with their own malicious version without access to the signing key used to sign the repository metadata.
Also keep in mind Accrescent is still in early alpha and so it doesn't have all of the features that are planned. If you'd like to see some of the planned features, please take a look at the roadmap at https://github.com/orgs/accrescent/projects/4/views/1
Thanks for taking the time to explain it to me. The Github issue also is very helpful. Seems that's exactly my answer to "Why do I need a fourth store in addition to F-Droid, AuroraStore and Obtanium" 😉
Have a nice day, thanks for the STT keyboard! I didn't really engage in the discussion because I'm exactly in the same situation as other people here. I already have the FUTO one and Sayboard... But eventually I'd like to replace FUTO software with free software alternatives. I don't like their licensing. So this is very welcome.
Have a nice day to you too, and your welcome! Also keep in mind Transcribro can be used the same way as you imply you're using Sayboard with FUTO. Just saying in case you didn't know.
