Accrescent isn't the future

I completely agree with your statement, but you have to lower your standards to sell your product to as many users as possible. After that, you can gradually raise the standards. Imagine F-Droid, which has a lot of FOSS apps if it started requiring the same standards that Accrescent requires right now to include an app in their store, what would happen? Developers would have to follow their security standards just to maintain their apps in the F-Droid store. Obviously, not all developers would do this, but it’s a good strategy to try. Regarding donations, the blog I linked above mentions that in 2025 they received $30,665.41 in cryptocurrency. That’s not a small amount of money. Also, the roadmap you linked isn’t very reassuring. In the ‘Roadmap’ section under the short-term timeline, it states that in the next month, some new features (such as a log description and a screenshot for every listed app) would be added to the Accrescent app. However, the blog was created on 11/08/2025, and today is 20/05/2026. I personally still don’t see these features. I am fully aware that I am coming down hard on Accrescent, but I do not intend to convey any message of hatred toward the project, nor toward the developer. However, what I am expressing is simply my own point of view how I see the project right now.
