When I search the apps in FDroid some apps are not showing. For example WebApps. I installed this app years ago. My Android version is 14. Why is this happening? Thank you.
Probably was an older app, so it’s Archived
Go to Settings. Manage Repos. F-Droid. scroll down, expand toggle Archive ON
Search again…
If it’s still installable on Android 14 you’ll find it
Pease disable the Archive when done
Thanks, but I think, I found the answer:

Moving the discussion from #249 into a new issue:
Unfortunately the bad news … is that I will probably stop supporting this app this year, despite this app being a labour of love and one I'm proud of. The sandbox leaks mentioned in the README, combined with browser fingerprinting, supercookies, FLoC, and other hostile abuses of Web technology, have made me come to the conclusion that the Web is a lost cause for private browsing. Yes, WebApps offers only limited protection, and that protection will probably decrease every year. Something like Gemini (https://gemini.circumlunar.space/docs/faq.gmi) is probably the way forward for privacy minded geeks, and I for one am moving as much of my content creation/consumption there as possible.
Another factor is that Android is also increasingly hostile to the developer (you need at least 16Gb RAM to compile a 3Mb APK, every year devs are forced onto new APIs, Gradle builds break often, Google now wants your developer signing key, the tooling I had used is now deprecated, etc, etc, etc). Couple that with the spyware preloaded onto phones and the increasing difficulty of getting control over your device (e.g. my phone kills VLC after 30 mins and there's nothing I can do about it), and I'm ready to ditch Android and go back to good 'ol desktop computing (https://tobykurien.com/post-1618319359/).
