I found all my friends under "Internet Weirdos" but I'm wondering why so few of us (myself included) are included.
thijser · 7 months ago
At this point I only included accounts with >20,000 followers and the community page lists the 20 most 'central' users to each community even if there are more people included in the community.

"Internet Weirdos" sounds kind of negative, sorry about that, I'll see if the LLM can come up with something better. Or do you have a suggestion of what is a good name for your community?

The site is unreachable for me?

Great to see so many good analytics tools pop up for bsky, I'm also working on one that primarily focuses on the fastest growing user accounts if you're interested: https://blue.facts.dev/trending

Now it's working again, great tool. Would also be great to see the growth of the feeds within the category view.

I've noticed that my son spends way too much time on YouTube or playing Minecraft and one of the few offline activities he enjoys doing on his own is coloring. And since he comes to me every time he wants a new coloring book and we spend about 10 minutes together searching for each picture, I made a website with a collection of coloring books for him. The site is very simple, but to be honest, I haven't had so much fun with the process of creation for a long time.

Great site. Feature request: two essential categories for our family are missing: princesses and unicorns.

OK, instead of answering in every Thread here:

These apps have existed for many years now and the "business model" behind them has changed over the times. These apps are available on Google Play and F-Droid. Originally, the apps were completely free, and there was a "Thank You" app which you could purchase on Google Play. This "Thank You" app does almost nothing, it only allows you to change the color theme of the apps and is more meant as a "donation app" for the project.

Then, in 2018, the author decided to develop "Pro" versions of the most popular apps: Gallery, Calendar, Contacts, File Manager, etc. They can be bought on Google Play. These apps are still fully open source, you can build them yourself if you want, but much easier: they are still published on F-Droid, including the "Thank You" app.

Understandably, the author does not really advertise that everything he does is available completely for free on F-Droid. If you install it from there, please consider to donate. I find these apps to be usually excellent and have used them for years.

It seems the apps starting to enforce upgrades to pro in ~February of this year.

On the AppBrain page you can see the rating nosedive from 4.6 stars (out of 5) to less than 2: https://www.appbrain.com/app/simple-gallery/com.simplemobile...

This stat is not relevant. A more relevant stat would be to filter out apps with a threshold of downloads.

I would be curious to know how many apps with a 1M+ downloads use these frameworks.

AppBrain shows market share stats for all apps and also for the top ranked apps: https://www.appbrain.com/stats/libraries/details/flutter/flu...

6% of the top ranked apps use Flutter.
