.
Obtainium is available via IzzyOnDroid or GitHub and let's you search for apps directly, or you can enter a URL to an app's project, where it grabs the latest APK, and installs it. Then it will check periodically for updates & install those as soon as they pop up.

It is the fastest way to get the latest version of an app, & completely bypasses all the app stores.

This can be good or bad. Good because you get apps you can't get anywhere else, and the latest versions sooner. Bad because you don't have anyone verifying the safeness of the file.

FFUpdater does the same with web browsers and OrBot. If you use Obtainium for other apps, you can use it for your browsers as well, and get rid of FFUpdater to free up resources.

Obtainium supports many App sources, including but not limited to:
- GitHub
- GitLab
- IzzyOnDroid
- F-Droid
- APKPure
- APKMirror

Obtainium is in pre-release, & isn't the most user friendly app, so it may take a while to learn. Don't give up!

Hey folks, got another update for the GhostNet documentation. The biggest change is a freq change to 7.107 to avoid the main VarAC calling freq. This should work simultaneously, and not conflict (just pick an open area on the JS8 waterfall), but I wanted to alleviate any possible overlap, just in case. Same for the 20m freq, which is now 14.107.

- Rumble
- Odysee
- Youtube
- FUTO's PeerTube Instance
- Twitch
- Patreon
- Soundcloud
- Kick
- Nebula

Sorry, no BitChute so far.

BraveNewPipe

A libre lightweight streaming front-end for Android

Due to restrictive project policy, the #NewPipe team refuses to add platforms that they find offensive. This fork (BraveNewPipe) will not be as restrictive. As long as the platforms work in the spirit of free speech, they could be integrated.
Nevertheless, platforms that promote pornography or other degrading things will NOT be included here.

Contribute
This fork will focus only on integrating other platforms. Unrelated patches will be rejected for now.
Feel free to suggest which alternative platforms should be included. Any contribution (development/testing/bug report) is greatly appreciated.

Which additional platforms are supported?
Bitchute
Rumble

Other features not found in NewPipe
-NewPipe x Sponsorblock into this fork
-searchfilters: in the action menu of the search page you can now change the search behavior for the actual search. The supported content/sort filters depend on the service

Documenso

The Open Source DocuSign Alternative.

Signing documents digitally should be fast and easy and should be the best practice for every document signed worldwide.

This is technically quite easy today, but it also introduces a new party to every signature: The signing tool providers. While this is not a problem in itself, it should make us think about how we want these providers of trust to work.

Documenso aims to be the world's most trusted document-signing tool. This trust is built by empowering you to self-host Documenso and review how it works under the hood.
