Are there still plans to bring Cryptomator to the official F-Droid repository?
This would have many advantages: It is easier to find for new users, no additional security risks by adding a (potentially untrusted) third-party repository, trust if the app is approved by the F-Droid team and verified to be open source (reproducable builds)

### Summary
Publish in the official F-Droid repository, not the Cryptomator F-Dorid repository.
### Motivation
The official F-Droid repository is known for its concern for security and privacy. If Cryptomator is there, it will give a good impression of security and privacy-conscious software.

I’m sorry if this is a stupid question, but I’m a beginner:
How does F-Droid version work?
Why the program is not on https://f-droid.org ?

Thanks for the clarification!
Hope you can finally find a solution to this problem!
Being present in F-droid is important and for many people it is a determinant of clean software.
99.99% of potential users don’t know why Cryptomator isn’t there and leaves.
