            Found it !

            https://f-droid.org/packages/org.fdroid.fdroid/

            I had to go through the Gitlab, browse to “client” (https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidclient ), and scroll down to the readme section to find the link.

          I use droid-ify. It didn’t pop any updates for F-droid, but I updated it manually, since the 2.0 version is there.

      UX is much better. I wouldn’t say it’s great. At all.

      But I’m really happy to see big improvements! And I’m finding things I had no idea were on the “store” before at all. Which ultimately is the goal.
