BTW you can run arbitrary programs on android, eg check termux and all the packages there. That’s not sideloading as it’s not even an “app”. You could run things there and then connect via a browser to local host and port for Ui purposes.
Could you distribute such programs in a way accessible to nontechnical users? I think most people will just nope out the second they’re asked to type anything into a terminal. Not to say it’s a bad idea, pretty cool concept regardless.
I mean not many sideload in general but if the need was there (like its coming) to be able to install what we want. Scripts and tools would improve.
Not sure if possible but a pwa to run pre-packaged install scripts would be pretty cool. Thinks like Tasker can do it already and tmux helpers… But it’s not quite click and run yet.
But would imitate a lot how Self-hosting works at home.

For sure that’s true.
