Zapstore

Zapstore Studio — Developers

A purpose-built developer suite. Reliable tools for shipping apps and interacting with communities of users.

🚀 Zapstore for Android 1.0.0 now available! This is a massive release consolidating almost a year of hard work: - Major UX refresh across all screens - Revamped app updates, with background downloading and checks, progress tracking - App Stacks and bookmarks editable from the app - Relay management for app catalogs - Security and performance improvements, and much more We also built and migrated to an all-new relay and Blossom server backed by a CDN with assets distributed in 3 regions for faster and more reliable downloads. In addition to that, our new publishing tool zsp v0.3.2 was also released today! And last but definitely not least... an amazing new webapp where we hint at what the future looks like (can't wait for Studio!). Incredibly bullish and grateful to @Pip the WoT guy @Niel Liesmons @elsat nostr:npub1y3yqdp44vg62ys8anqnjpx6cfprl848ev4lsmx5h4mznyz3xft9sen050hnostr:npub10pensatlcfwktnvjjw2dtem38n6rvw8g6fv73h84cuacxn4c28eqyfn34f @HRF @And Other Stuff and all our testers and supporters, thank you!

Legacy app stores impose a heavy tax on GUI distribution. This further incentivizes pushing capabilities to agents that can be accessed via messenger apps. The flight search app is no more.

Zapstore 1.0.0-rc4 (alpha) released with a lot of bugfixes, more stability and better UX around installation, downloads, updates. Thank you all for your feedback, we're making this much more solid. May I ask you to update to latest and keep testing? 🙏 If all goes well, ready for finally get 1.0 out the door 😎

Fascinated by the idea of sharing Android apps offline, and specifically during internet blackouts that are an unfortunate reality around the world. The ability to send and receive "an APK", no matter how much the sender is trusted, opens a dangerous attack vector – especially with open source software. An adversary, by means of basic social engineering, has now an untethered distribution channel to spread a malicious fork with zero verification. Zapstore, however, has been designed from the ground up for adversarial contexts. We are able to send not only Android artifacts, but Nostr events that verify it and set up a basic web of trust check completely offline. Won't be implemented right away, but here is the draft spec to kick it off:
