I want a good app ecosystem that has basic android replacements. I tried Fossify apps but I dont know I didnt like them. I ve tried some MA apps and so far they look clean enough, I just wanna know if there are any flaws or issues with them that would make me wanna reconsider |

So weird that they wouldn't include the full name :D |

On F-droid, those 20+ apps are effectively branded as "MA", with similar b/w icons, so if that's your only window on Android apps, I guess it would be natural to assume other people know the term and what it refers to 🤷 I dunno, I just happened to know what OP meant 🙂 |

https://ma.vayunmathur.com/apps That's a whole lot of apps for 1 dude to be making (45 + more to come) and maintaining. Are these "vibe coded"? If they are, I wouldn't put much stock in them being maintained for long. |

Those are pretty much my concerns as well, and the reason I only use his PDF reader app. I'm not willing to commit to a whole range of apps when they've only been actively developed for six months (? That's when I noticed them). Especially these days when too many projects don't openly declare or actively try to conceal vibe coding... |

Nothing super crazy. Maybe they hide it well? They do have "MA Localassistant" app which is LLM related. So maybe? EDIT: Plus many of the apps have unnecessary Network permissions. And one app called MA Cast claims it doesn't need internet access but has full Network permission anyways. |

I'd probably recommend the GOS app instead for PDFs: |

Since Graphene has recently gone to the LLM side, and are being super snippy that they got caught doing it, I probably wouldn't. |
