Add option to search apps using Github api about obtainium HOT 5 CLOSED

i think the token running out is not so likely. I use an app called raycast to search github repo's and I never hit a limit. Filtering is def, a challenge. Even without the filter it could already help to add apps people know.

No way to filter only for android Apps as far as I can see, so it's up to the user to recognize what they want.
For now the results only show App name/author since that was easiest to implement, but I'll add App descriptions and URL links later to make it easier to pick results. Leaving the issue open till then.

This is a good idea, but i'm not sure about filtering results to get rid of non-APK releases, because there could be 100s of results and checking each needs one API request so even a user with a token could run out quickly (and it would take a long time). But yeah, allowing the user to search then pick a result can be looked into.

Is there no official way that Github devs designate what platform their repos target? Like a Tag for android?
If there is, you could use that as a filter
