    I am not an F-Droid maintainer, but as far as I know the code is not vetted by F-Droid after the initial app submission process. Updates are pulled in, built and distributed automatically. The long delay is just because there are a lot of apps to build, and F-Droid is a volunteer-run operation.

    If your app doesn't meet the target minimum API level on the Google Play Store, then it doesn't get published. It's just as much of a guideline, so I don't think this is really relevant to the point of the article.

    F-Droid is more of a marketplace for software developers than it is a set of community curated apps. The requirement for F-Droid software to be open source is just a guideline/rule like the minimum target API level on the Google Play Store. F-Droid is a neutral platform in my observations over the couple of years I have published there, and does not curate its content.

    Thanks, everyone. I really appreciate it. I've just sent the first set of Steam keys, and will send keys to everyone else who responded when Steam approves the request for additional keys.

    [Boxcars](https://store.steampowered.com/app/3182230/Boxcars/) is coming soon on Steam. If you own a Steam Deck, and know how to play backgammon or are willing to learn, I would appreciate it if you played a game or two using your Deck, and then let me know your feedback. Let me know if you are interested, and I will send you a key.
