Thinking of discontinuing the indexer and just keep developer-signed apps (as every other Nostr client)

Signal started marking their releases as "pre-release" on Github: 
Reason why those are not showing up as latest on Zapstore.
We used to fetch pre-releases, at that time a Termux pre-release screwed up lots of setups.
Pulling pre-releases then needs to be evaluated on a per-project basis, this is hard.

Current estimate of active Android smartphone users worldwide: 3.9 billion
About 5 million use custom ROMs (LineageOS, GrapheneOS, crDroid and others)
That is 0.13%

Dear @GrapheneOS, does an app store where users choose their curators (essential for censorship-resistance) violate your security model? 👀
> App stores are supposed to be a single source of apps. You should look at the device management APIs where app stores must be a single source of apps in order to be permitted when disallowing unknown app sources and only permitting first party or specific known app sources.

On Zapstore now!
(They will be self-publishing soon 🤞)

Censorship is fine, even necessary.
The problem is when that is a monopoly - both in theory and in practice. And this problem has shades of grey.
Apple/Google having unique app stores as centralized chokepoints and telling you to quit their ecosystems if they ban an app is a problem, because there is no credible exit. For some that exit is acceptable, not for me.
To those of you with Github accounts, can I ask you to star the Zapstore app?
