Something neat about nostr is that, by receiving a note like this, you received an app hash that's already signed by the creator 🤯

📣 Introducing zap.store 0.1.0

For months I have been dreaming of a better app store, frustrated by big tech's permissioned bs, GPG's complexities, and Obtainium's reliance on centralized services and poor UX.

Here's the first (very alpha) iteration of zap.store, a permissionless app store leveraging the nostr social graph.

✔ Android only (for now! Desktop coming soon)
✔ Obtainium drop-in replacement (smaller catalog but growing)
✔ App releases are signed/curated by this account, as developers start self-signing
✔ Web of trust check before installing an app

Get it at https://zap.store or https://github.com/zapstore/zapstore

(SHA-256 hash of the APK version 0.1.0 is 8540bd492064c17d83bcdc6d2a463c2aea46f13c2b0d13b8a96023df95bd0c9d)

Feedback more than welcome, it's also possible to send directly from the ⚙️ screen in the app
