Relay migration appears to be a success. No downtime and no issues so far! The whitelisting mechanism for publishing was removed. We now use @Vertex to check the pubkey's reputation instead, meaning that anyone with minimal reputable following can now publish on Zapstore without pre-approval! We do not appreciate spam or questionable content, which will promptly be added to the blacklist. This new relay written in Go is faster, with more accurate search results. Thank you @Pip the WoT guy for the rely library and @Kayhan Sepanta for implementing!

Heads up fellas: relay migration in process. If everything burns to the ground, at least you were warned.

Added Zapstore installer verification notice on the website. I am no longer including the hashes next to the APK link. Downloading an application installer from a website and verifying it with a hash listed in the same page is security theater.

Created a Signal group for technical support:

For those trying to install @Fountain via Zapstore: The issue is that the APK has been removed from its original location https://storage.googleapis.com/fountain-fm-builds/android/fountain-1.3.2-1531.apk @Oscar Merry are you aware? Could you get this fixed? View quoted note →

@Max shilling Nostr to a packed room. Great talk and thanks for bringing up Zapstore!

New Zapstore web! Every app now has its own page (available at https://zapstore.dev/apps) and deep links are working in Zapstore 1.0 so sharing apps will become much easier. Still unfinished but overall improved copywriting and aesthetic of the site.
