3 hours ago, one of our @APKMirror users asked to add fuzzy search to APKMirror.com. You know, the one that corrects your misspellings. It's actually been sitting on my todo list since 2023. But I'm busy doing taxes and the todo list has hundreds of items. Before AI, I would have filed the user request and the feature might have seen the light of day years down the road. But it's 2026. I assigned the task to @cursor_ai, did some steering, and... now we have fuzzy search on APKMirror (see screenshot). I'm going to let it bake for a bit and run it by my main developer, but it's pretty much ready to go, complete with unit tests. Modern web development is wild in the age of AI. And so much fun.

@ArtemR your team did a very nice job updating the APKMirror installer app. Looks really good.

Viva la resistance! The Android community has spoken and revolted on the issue of sideloading and developer verification, and Google has listened! "Empowering experienced users While security is crucial, we’ve also heard from developers and power users who have a higher risk tolerance and want the ability to download unverified apps. Based on this feedback and our ongoing conversations with the community, we are building a new advanced flow that allows experienced users to accept the risks of installing software that isn't verified. We are designing this flow specifically to resist coercion, ensuring that users aren't tricked into bypassing these safety checks while under pressure from a scammer. It will also include clear warnings to ensure users fully understand the risks involved, but ultimately, it puts the choice in their hands. We are gathering early feedback on the design of this feature now and will share more details in the coming months." android-developers.googleblo…
