    try to stick to reputable projects 1st and be always wary of shady installation tactics

    One of the first things I look for are longevity, last updated/activity, and then I look at the issues posted and responses. I like mature apps because I don’t possess the intelligence to audit code.

        So that takes care of the ‘last updated/acticity’ portion of the trifecta. How about longevity and issues posted and responses. I really know very little about the project as 'arr apps aren’t my bag.
