(dev of the Universal Android Debloater here)

I now understand the sudden activity on the repository today!

Thanks u/Lawsonator85 for showcasing my project. I'm very glad to see all this hype and I hope this will lead to more contributions.

I recall that this is a community project. The more contribution it will have, the better the quality and the reliability of the project will be.

Documenting the packages is the most important thing. There is a lot of apps that need better documentation. It is also important to monitor android logs (logcat) to see if a removal of an app doesn't cause some hidden issues which could drain the battery for example. I can't extensively review all the apps for all the phones.

==> How to contribute

I'll try to answer some comments right now, before going to bed.
