The problem is that I don't use an fdroid client whatsoever. I use Obtanium. So as far as my search has taken me, the fdroid link is the only one with APKs built that Obtanium can use.

Same here. I can add the explanation
Thank you! I didn't know that was an option with Obtanium, but sure appreciate you sharing!
Its a total pain. I use F-Droid Basic for the feed, adding repos, viewing the contents, and the said share feature.
Obtainium has a pretty cluttered UI but it is not a store yet the combo with F-Droid Basic (having manually disabled everything regarding updates) is the compromise.
I don't mind Obtainum's UI, but I apparently have missed features it has. I don't have F-Droid installed at all currently. I am sure there has got to be a way to find package names without having the F-Droid client installed.
I couldnt find one.
If you enter the repos address in a browser it just shows the generic "fdroid repo - qr code" page.
But for sure some way to go into the repo list has to be possible
It would be cool if there was a website, or an app that would act as just an F-Droid repo browser to show package details, and other pertinent information.

This one supports many and also newer ones, but for some reason not DivestOS main and a few others.
I'll just stick with F-droid main. They wait isn't a bad thing unless we are talking about a severe security vulnerability.
DivestOS makes Mull, F-Droid waiting is just their inability to view into their processes. I dont think there is any form of review included, between upgrades.
I still am not going to add extra repos.
You use code made by another project. They have their own repo.
Thanks. Droid-ify has their repo in the list for repos to add so I just enabled it and reinstalled.
