Hi everyone,

I’ve been working on a huge update for Vyxel Apps, the open-source Android app store powered by GitHub releases.

This update focuses heavily on UI polish, customization, performance, and app discovery.

What’s new in this update:

• Material 3 Expressive redesign
• Faster backend/server response
• Smoother animations & scrolling
• Advanced filters and category search
• Expanded theme engine & AMOLED themes
• More fonts support
• Multi-language support improvements
• In-app translation for app descriptions
• Better GitHub, GitLab & F-Droid browsing

The goal is to make Vyxel Apps feel modern, fluid, and highly customizable while staying lightweight and privacy-friendly.

Still:
✅ No ads
✅ No tracking
✅ Fully open source

Would love feedback and suggestions ❤️

Hi everyone,

I’ve been working on Vyxel Apps, an Android app store focused on discovering and installing open-source apps directly from GitHub releases.

The goal was to create something lightweight, privacy-friendly, and modern — without ads, tracking, or unnecessary clutter.

Some features included in the first release:

• Smart APK architecture detection • Background update monitoring • Repository trust scoring • Install history & rollback • GitHub starred repo syncing • App comparison mode • Auto-extracted screenshots from READMEs • AMOLED & Material 3 themes

The app is completely free and open source.

Also this is my first project.

Feedback, suggestions, and contributions are welcome ❤️
