Why Iโ€™m Building Aeroapk: A New Way to Discover Android Apps

Iโ€™m building something new for Android developers: Aeroapk ๐Ÿš€

The idea is simple:

Android developers should have a place where they can showcase and distribute their apps directly to users โ€” without their app page being buried among thousands of unrelated downloads.

Thatโ€™s why I started building Aeroapk.

What Iโ€™m trying to build

Aeroapk is focused on:

  • ๐Ÿ“ฑ Discovering Android apps
  • ๐Ÿš€ Helping independent developers showcase their work
  • ๐Ÿ” Making app information easier to understand
  • ๐Ÿ“ฆ Providing direct access to APKs
  • ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ’ป Giving developers another place to reach users

Iโ€™m especially interested in indie developers and open-source Android projects.

But Iโ€™m still early

Aeroapk is a work in progress, and Iโ€™m trying to learn from developers before adding more features.

So Iโ€™d love to hear from Android developers:

What is the biggest problem you face when distributing your app outside Google Play?

Is it:

  • Getting users?
  • APK distribution?
  • Updates?
  • Trust and security?
  • Discoverability?
  • Something else?

I'd genuinely like to hear what you're experiencing.

I'm building Aeroapk in public, so I'll be sharing what I learn along the way.

If you're building an Android app, feel free to tell me about it in the comments. ๐Ÿ‘‡
