F-Droid the open app store with Hans


Listen Later

Josh talks to Hans-Christoph Steiner about F-Droid, the Free and Open Source Android App Repository. The way F-Droid works looks a lot like a Linux distribution which has some interesting security challenges, but also some great security benefits. Hans walks us through the current state of open app repositories and also what the future currently looks like. There are more open phones than ever before, but there are also more challenges than ever before. Hans breaks it all down in an easy to understand way.
