Zapstore yesterday
Zapstore v2 is becoming almost a full rewrite. The clankers, @Pip the WoT guy and @franzap have been going hard on development (but mostly systems design) for many weeks now. It is the first time I can say everything *actually* makes sense. We have a cohesive product story that is reflected in every project that constitutes it. Including how we communicate it. It's a freedom tech product, not just a nostr one anymore. This is why I'm quite silent, and why there are no incremental updates. The whole product will be launched at once. We can finally push features we've been asked for, for ages. I'm particularly excited about the new privacy and security features. Publishing and discovery as well. The new website is looking hot. Not only way faster but more clear. No more ambiguities around rules for publishing. I have also taken time to sharpen tools and operations, many are now agent-first (public and internal). And app releases should happen more often. Fortunately, it seems we won't have many migration or backward-compatibility issues. Hard work, probably a million decisions taken already to reshape this in the right direction. Excited for what the future holds.

A Bitcoin node syncs blocks and queries locally. Organic Maps pulls tiles and queries locally. Why can't Zapstore pull release bundles and query locally? At first this sounded crazy. It turns out it's (almost) the holy grail of privacy and UX. Initial prototype of v2 is insanely promising. App written in Kotlin from scratch. Browsing apps is instant. Search is orders of magnitude better. For update checks, no need to reveal your installed app set to any remote server. Tor by default. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. More soon.
