Well, it's fun that they mention F-Droid, because the maintainers are bullies who bully their contributors and generally act very unpleasant. They like to make new rules on the spot.
I abandoned using the project altogether, not someone I want to support.
What rules?
That apps published there can't be wrappers around a web application.
What's a wrapper in this context?
An app that's just WebView?
Not WebView, but a so-called TWA, aka Trusted Web Activity, a features specifically designed to wrap PWAs and give them full-blown app capabilities.
What additional capabilities does that give the app beyond using Firefox or Chrome to install it as a PWA?
