Hey Sailors, I've mixed feelings about OpenRepos. What are yours?

I believe the average user should *not* use it, but I see why we need it.

All my apps are published to OpenRepos, but I want to change this.

Harbour is the first choice and then I publish to Chum to allow community ports to get them. My OpenRepos repo should list only those app that don't fit Chum.

@ilpianista I do agree, though they all have their place. I can't put Quickddit on Chum because it needs to be built with a secret (API key), and if it still broke the harbour rules I could only put it on Openrepos.

I thought community ports got Harbour access though? Chum exists for apps that can't abide by all the restrictions of the harbour.

@abranson I agree that missing support for secrets is a problem. However, I suppose I can just run `strings harbour-quickddit` to read it? 🤔

@ilpianista sure, but that's a couple of extra steps away from it being searchable on github.
