Due to "anti-features" introduced unilaterally by some people from FDroid community, it is not possible to find Organic Maps using the search in FDroid client without tinkering with its settings first: gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-

By default, it is possible to find apps with ads, with tracking, with non-free network services, dependencies and assets, apps without source code and with known vulnerabilities. But it is not possible to find Organic Maps, an open-source app without ads and tracking.

I have to enable "other anti features" before it shows up.

What do they say is the anti feature?

@alanz @organicmaps
On the web view they say:
"This app promotes or depends entirely on a non-free network service
This app depends entirely on a certain instance of a network service"

If you know which mystery link to click on¹ it will tell you this: "AntiFeatures:
TetheredNet:
en-US: Map download service (cdn*.organicmaps.app).
NonFreeNet:
en-US: Hotel widget includes a link to kayak.com not contained in original map data."

1: Hint: not the initial warning text.

@InsertUser @alanz @organicmaps @fdroidorg And even if you manage to find the mystery link, there's often no useful information there. In any case, I think that "network" anti-features need to be reassessed. If an app is ostensibly a youtube client, then it *must* talk to youtube. To tag it with an anti-feature just because of this is confusing. I understand wanting to promote self-hosting etc. But I can't self-host my parcel delivery, and libretrack as non-free net doesn't change that.

@InsertUser @alanz @organicmaps is it hard to remove the kayak thing on only the f-droid build? I never used it and it's weird to me that a foss app has a kayak integration, unless if kayak were also foss.
