If you know the developers and know you can trust them, it is a great option.\n\nI don’t. I mostly know an app and it’s developer is reasonably trustworthy because the app is listed by F-Droid.\n\nEven when I want to install a well known “mainstream” app, with Optanium, I still have to find the real original source first. There are fakes and clones for every popular app on Github and the Internet in general.\n\nThat means Optainium is great for advanced users, who exactly know what they want and where to get it, and who spend the time and effort to get to know and follow every open source app/project they use. - I’m not that person and I never met that person in real life.",
