Issues in the crawler f-droid. Extract source code url

Many of the apps in “issues” that do not meet the f-droid inclusion policy have not yet been added to F-Droid.

Hi @atlantis451,
this is what Obtainium is built for ("Get Android app updates straight from the source"). So why don't you just add the source URL (GitHub, GitLab, Forgejo (Codeberg) or SourceForge) so that you get the app directly from the developer instead of from F-Droid?

Hi bro
It is still necessary to crawl f-droid Issues under the web crawler.

Add the app to apps.obtainium.imranr.dev

The apps.obtainium.imranr.dev website is very helpful for users to discover apps.
You may try to search for APP alternatives on Google, but the answer will not satisfy you.

Why? What advantage do you have if F-Droid issues are crawled (apart from the fact that you can't download an APK from there anyway)?

Add the app to apps.obtainium.imranr.dev

Apps that can simply be added to Obtainium (insert GitHub link in the source URL line; no further settings required) will not be added to the website.

This is not what the website is for. It is intended for complicated configurations.

Get the App source code url in F-Droid issue: github gitlab Codeberg etc.
apps.obtainium.imranr.dev will add more than a thousand open source apps

Apps that can simply be added to Obtainium (insert GitHub link in the source URL line; no further settings required) will not be added to the website.

Maintain one list, people only need to add to apps.obtainium.imranr.dev, people don't need to make duplicate lists.
Obtainium app defaults to list Import all apps. https://apps.obtainium.imranr.Dev/all.json Users can also use their own list "all.json"
