Dear Zapstore frens, Many of you suggest adding new apps or fixing ones whose index is broken, and I appreciate that. Until we have the new proxy relay, would you mind adding an issue here? https://github.com/zapstore/indexer/issues It's much easier to keep track of what I need to do. Mentions and DMs are elusive.

What are the odds of having @Luke Dashjr sign @Bitcoin Knots on Zapstore? So it can be installed via zapstore-cli with a nostr WoT verification. I am willing to help him all the way to make this happen. (By the way, zapstore-cli 0.2.0 for publishing is coming up next week with more signing options, no external dependencies, simplified config, and much faster!)

Developers, you soon will be able to sign your apps with keys on your browser extension. Works for any other event too! Demo: Repo: https://github.com/zapstore/nip07signer

The judge in Epic v. Apple has banned Apple from charging a commission on purchases made outside the App Store. (Apple still has control of the App Store.)

The Verge

A judge just blew up Apple’s control of the App Store

The judge called Apple’s insubordination a “gross miscalculation.“

Current status

🚀 Zapstore 0.2.6 released! - Fixes for stale data, apps should now show their latest versions - Upgrade to @Vertex DVM format - New Developer screen (basic for now, delete local cache if apps are missing!) Older web of trust format is deprecated and will soon stop working. Please upgrade!

GM! Vibe coding native apps will improve significantly over the next 2 years, and we'll see a lot of competition in the space. Clearly, the majority will happen on Android which will make the Apple App Store comically small by comparison. With this fast changing landscape, what do you think Apple will do? Finally let go and allow alternative marketplaces? Keep tightening because of "all those dangerous apps" out there?
