3 years ago Nice! Thanks @IzzySoft I will give a look at it. At the moment I cannot directly run the analysis on it since our code depends on Google Play for fetching app's metadata and reviews.

3 years ago @iivanoo if it's just the metadata, that's easy to achieve. You probably could use fdroidserver directly as it's Python as well, so you can pick from its modules (there are specific ones for metadata). Alternatively, you could also use the JSON Index, which I rawly documented here. Both would enable you working on apps from any F-Droid repository (yes, there are multiple – the biggest ones are F-Droid's own with currently close to 3.500 and mine with close to 700 apps. Mine has 3 possibly relevant candidates: CoronaStatsDE, Corona-Warn-Companion and Worldwide Corona Tracker. No such things as reviews though, as like Debians repositories, no accounts are used.

3 years ago Thanks @IzzySoft I will give it a try somewhere in the coming days (I have several deadlines coming up)
This is a fully F/LOSS fork of the official CWA app, having replaced the proprietary Google-Libraries with F/LOSS ones written by Marvin Wißfeld (microG-Project). Meanwhile, this app is no longer limited to just Germany – but can be used in several other European countries as well.
This app does not need Google Play Services being installed on the device, as it includes the corresponding open-source variants itself, hence can run on Google-Free devices, is not bound to the terms of the official ENF – while still fully compatible with its parent, the CWA app. The two teams even interact with each other, though the CWA team is bound to the "orders" of their contractor.
