If you are experimenting issues with Zapstore, please report below 👇
It appears like slowness on the relay even though average loads are very low. I'm still investigating.

2024-11-13 18:00:41

🚀 MIGRATION RELEASE 0.1.5
Zapstore moved to zapstore.dev and with that the app identifier (new app for Android).
Simply find it and install it, then remove the old zap.store
Uninstall apps bug fixed, bigger toasts and with clearer info and actions, and much more.
https://image.nostr.build/5e1b8ce7830bc1ec8531eaeaf775359827d445565012d02db20998293953295e.jpg

2024-11-12 17:14:57

Heads up! We're rebranding zap.store to Zapstore.
The premium domain renewal is too expensive, so I'm moving it to zapstore.dev for years to come. The middle dot is also confusing for pronounciation.
Website, relay, CDN will all be moving to the new domain in the next release, coming this week.
(Feel free to contact @nprofile…ucf3 , @nprofile…0sa3 or @nprofile…je4n + out of band if you need confirmation)
Please share! 🫂

zap.store has influencooors, blindly signs apps pulled from Github/Microsoft and has a hardcoded, closed relay.
Frens, I'm not Google Corp with unlimited resources 😂 I'm solo on this stuff (but building fully on nostr) and trying to introduce better UX and bootstrapping in a sustainable way in order not to burn out.
Patience please🙏 Relay management, better security features, and viewing apps through your web of trust lens are all coming.

2024-10-25 16:50:12

- reply

This is not correct. First off, you do not sign any events so your npub can't be associated to anything (and when it happens it will be totally transparent and voluntary). Elsat is also right that you can log in with any other npub. Also, we do not check IPs or perform tracking.
Lastly keep in mind this is nostr, you can create a new keypair at any time.

🚀 zap.store for Android 0.1.4 released
- Introducing curated app sets. Not only zap.store curations but great ones by @nprofile…hdd2 and @nprofile…deau
- By tapping on "Load more" releases it's now possible to browse all apps in the relay
And also:
- Significant performance improvements and "loading forever" bug fixed
- UX improvements around app cards and versions
- Dozens of other fixes

Heads up android users, I'm working to get a new zap.store app release this week (if all goes well).
Lots of plumbing work to fix most errors users have been experiencing in the past months. And maybe one or two features too. Stay tuned!

*I didn't mean the APK, but the recipe on how to fetch version and artifact, so once it's set up we automate that

2024-10-06 23:30:12

- reply

Good question! Each APK needs to be added manually and so it's vetted. With updates to the UI we'll start making these things more clear. And next year integrating DVMs to help with these checks.
The idea is to bring many more FOSS apps that are not as releases on Github.
In reality this doesn't change much from the current practice of ingesting Github releases. Some of those could theoretically be compromised.

2024-10-06 23:02:11

Well, it's on zap.store now 👀
How? I'm writing the new parser that picks up APKs from all over the web from our indexer.
Work in progress! But expect a TON more apps soon.

2024-10-06 22:19:59

The status quo in app distribution:
"AntennaPod is officially published only in [Play Store and F-Droid] because we don’t have the time to support more."
"All other stores listing AntennaPod copied the app without our explicit permission. We are not responsible for updating those or making sure they work correctly."
"F-Droid usually takes a few days until updates become available. If an update is still not available more than a week after its release, feel free to let us know"
Now imagine all app releases signed on nostr by developers. As soon as they publish the event, updates get instantly pushed to the users. Secure*. Social. No third parties required. Permissionless. Directly monetizable. Unstoppable.
We are going to make it happen.

Would be so cool. The current categories are "list of apps" events (kind 30267), we could allow devs to push these to the relay as well. Needs more thought, though

Also working on the Android app where bugs have been fixed. I don't think it's a LineageOS specific issue. A little more patience and we'll have 0.1.4 released (or you can try building from source!)

2024-09-30 19:53:25

An issue where the button reads "Sorry release is incompatible with your device" has just been fixed.
If you keep experiencing it, go to Settings (⚙️) and tap on Delete cache.
It was a data issue where the latest release events were invalid (numbers instead of strings in nostr tags). These releases (around 30) were removed from the relay.
Since we are transitioning to zapstore-cli to power our indexer, which always generates valid events, the problem is fixed but it will take a few days to deploy. So no updates for a few days.
Developer signed releases are not affected.

I'm not against it but you need to trust the website host then.
Ideally we want multiple websites pulling these events. https://zap.store eventually will show this info, and then something like an app in nostrudel "more" could work too

2024-09-28 16:13:09

- reply

zap.store does this for you, but you are right that for verifying zap.store itself you need to either trust the domain or verify the hash.
This is why we publish hashes in our nostr profile.
If you already have AppVerifier, that's one way. Or you could do it in the computer. Would be nice to have tutorials for both

One of zap.store goals is to finish what PGP never could.
I share your concern and to bridge the PGP-nostr gap we have NIP-39 cryptographic identities that soon will be integrated into zapstore-cli.
https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1335
Other tools could be built to leverage these events and feed them into Openkeychain for example.
That said, you mention "updates" and a phone which I suppose is Android. Keep in mind that the OS handles this verification for you, so no worries except on first install.

Correction, Ser: it's also available as CLI (even though we have like 5 packages there😆)
The app currently mostly runs on MacOS but we need to rework the installer for different OSes. It's not a huge amount of work to get on MacOS and Linux.
That paired with the new zapstore-cli tool (for devs and as crawler) which supports basically any platform (OS/architecture) to be available as nostr events.

Actually zap.store fetches most apps from Github. But with additional security guards (checking hashes signed by the dev), web of trust display and better discovery. And soon zaps. Obviously Github directly has way more apps, but we're getting there.
