🇺🇸 It's been exactly one year since we went live with our Reproducible Builds publicly. Almost exactly at their first anniversary, we passed the mark of 50% apps covered by them.

But more has happened since: we've improved on the RBs, published the framework. You've asked for Download Statistics? Today we make those public. And more – plus more to come. As usual, we announce what it's ready – no fabulous promises, just facts. So read the full update here:

News from the first half of 2025: RB work, Download Statistics, and more

Half a year has passed since our last blog post. You might be curious what we achieved since then – and we have not been idle! Be prepared for more reproducible builds, download statistics, and other nice things 😃

🇩🇪 Es ist genau ein Jahr her, seit unsere reproduzierbaren Builds öffentlich live gingen. Fast genau zum ersten Jahrestag konnten wir mehr als 50% unserer Apps bestätigen.

Doch es ist noch mehr passiert: Wir haben die RBs verbessert und das Framework veröffentlicht. Ihr fragt nach Download-Statistiken? Die gehen heute live. Und mehr. Und mehr wird kommen. Wie immer sagen wir nur, was fertig ist – keine (leeren) Versprechungen. Hier das vollständige Update:

@IzzyOnDroid woop, woop, woop. Verstehe nur einen Bruchteil. Aber wenn du die Finger drin hast, wirds bestimmt gut haha

@IzzyOnDroid was ich schon lang mal fragen wollte: warum sind eigentlich so viele apps in deinem repo die sowieso im offiziellen wären? fossify oder davx5 z.b.

W00t, w00t! New NeoStore (one of our F-Droid clients) arrived, now showing the RB status directly next to the versions of each app 🥳

@IzzyOnDroid I'm so happy with how the stats thing looks already. I just want to throw the link here for extra visibility:

https://stats.izzyondroid.org/

Look at it :D

@SylvieLorxu @IzzyOnDroid Great work on that page.
So close to 100k downloads.
Show threadIzzyAug 1, 2025

@FineFindus Yay, congrats! 🥳

And as our Download Stats only give numbers for, uh, Downloads, here's a sneak peek at our web server stats overall load 😉 Stats for today are not yet in, hence the drop at the end (snapshot is from around half past midnight this morning). @SylvieLorxu
