additional categories/tags/similarities harvested from github-repository-tags
on github sourcecode repositories, program authors can add tags/categories to his/her app which are visible in html
for example my app "https://github.com/k3b/APhotoManager" contains
photos gallery photo-manager file-explorer ... 16 more
these can be used to implement a kind of harvester that could be the base of
- additional more fine grained categories
- https://gitlab.com/gdroid/gdroiddata/blob/master/metadata/tags.yaml
- apps similar to current app (apps with similar tags)
downside: currently only works for apps that have sourcecode in github
the harvester can be implemented easyly as
foreach app in "apps" of https://f-droid.org/repo/index-v1.jar
exec harvest app.sourceCode
the github tags can be extracted from all html a elements with class "topic-tag"
example `<a class="topic-tag">photos</a>`
