    Why do these exist? And I mean all those religious book reading applications collectively. Browsing through f-droid it feels like every third beginner’s project is a Bible-, Torah- or Koran-reading app.

      Your not wrong lol.

      My personal reason was because I simply enjoy the historical aspect to it so I wanted to share it in a more accessible way

      It’s kinda funny to see, I’m always surprised to see so many in the wild. My guess is just that it allows the developers to get familiar with the technology they’re using by making a relatively straightforward kind of app, harder than a counter, but easier than a full-on data wrangling beast

          why not? publishing open source software is a good thing. the failure is in fdroids search and discovverability features imho

          Lmao, probably not. Though publishing has its own learning curve too, so maybe they do it anyway for that reason, I don’t know
