App Lounge shows no updates while F-Droid does?

[warmemelk]

Hi all,

I was curious, I installed F-Droid for comparisons, because I wanted to know if App Lounge works properly.
I noticed F-Droid shows 5 updates ready to be installed, while App Lounge shows nothing from the open source apps?

Some additional context:

• yes I switched on the options to show all “Applications” in App Lounge
  
  
  
  
  
  
  (common, OpenSource,PWA)

How is this possible?

Kind regards.

I guess you better ask this in the e/OS community, as e/OS is developing this.

As far as I read the App lounge has issues and several people use Aurora Store and F-Droid directly

2 immediate technical ideas …

1. There might be a curation step of sorts involved from F-Droid repositories to App Lounge.
2. Syncing F-Droid to App Lounge might be done automatically, but in intervals, not nearly immediately.

Just to say some kind of lag wouldn’t be a total surprise … but I can’t say how it really works, I’m one of those “several people”:

… because this just works more reliably according to longtime /e/OS experience so far.

Hopefully they will get App Lounge there finally someday, but up to now my personal advice would be to not bother with it too much.
