I helped a fellow
@Bitcoin Park member install
@GrapheneOS yesterday. He's capable and committed, but not particularly technical. When it came to installing FOSS apps, I explained F-Droid, Obtainium, and
@Zapstore, along with hunt-and-find YOLO-style APK downloads, each with their attendant tradeoffs.
He ruled out F-Droid on technical deficiencies.
He tried Obtainium and understandly struggled with the complex, poor UX.
He was uncomfortable with trusting seemingly random downloads.
He tried Zapstore and succeeded, app after app.
UX matters much more than most developers can seem to wrap their heads around. We do not get broad adoption without it. Fin.
