I'd love to install the app. How?

2024-09-01 14:47:10

Hey @nprofile…0rct it was great to meet you in Riga. I forgot to ask, where can we find the Fountain APK?
If you don't publish it, do you mind confirming here so that we stop looking?

Thing is, some people prefer Obtainium because the catalog is much bigger.
I'm working on improving search/discovery, and eventually allowing users to install unindexed releases just like Obtainium.

2024-08-27 12:19:35

Today for the first time in zap.store , a developer has published their own app 🤩
That is ngit by @nprofile…crvd (a CLI package)
We'll be reaching out to more CLI and Android devs to follow suit!

This is why you should place less trust in domain names, and more trust in your cryptographic web of trust.

Who's going to be in @nprofile…e5ph?
Thinking of submitting a "Sign your apps" workshop for developers who want to start self-signing their apps on nostr.
We could explore the (upcoming) dev signing tool and its options, publish CLI and Android apps, and go over the NIPs that power all this.

Accrescent's catalog is maintained by a respected community member and checks dev signatures on a third-party database on Github. Correct me if I'm wrong.
While zap.store currently is more or less that, we're aiming to change the status quo trust model.
Users will be able to cryptographically verify an artifact came from a developer using nostr. They can do so directly, relying on a web-of-trust check, or indirectly via curators (choose your own walled gardens).
In addition, we're targeting multiple operating systems and other features like relay-based communities, the ability to zap apps and developers, a marketplace for new apps and more.

If you have other suggestions let us know! Even if it doesn't have a 5-letter B name

2024-07-14 22:13:13

Many folks asking for a full list of apps on zap.store : sorry, it won't happen (in the UI at least)
There are not many at this time, but the plan is to scale to millions of apps - it makes no sense to build a feature that soon will be useless. Discovery should happen through search, curation, recommendations.
(Is there any app store that shows a list of all apps?)
That said this is an open protocol: feel free to pull all kind 32267 events from relay.zap.store ! If anyone wants a UI can be built around that

2024-07-10 13:33:48

Github cannot be trusted with releases.
We're slowly fixing this, making good progress with the developer signing tool.
To which I'm adding an option to upload to a Blossom server to completely bypass the dependency on Github.
Will be sharing a preview next week.

We will be releasing a versatile signing tool soon! Stay tuned.
For the time being - can you upload the APK as a release on github? That way we can make it available immediately

2024-06-21 17:02:48

This is correct, the current version parsing code is terrible.
Was, I should say, as it's already properly fixed. Available in the next release in a few more days, if all goes well.
Primal and a few other updates affected.
Workarounds: use Obtainium (available on zap.store) or uninstall/ reinstall the app you want to update - make sure you have backups!

We're creating an app store in an adversarial permissionless environment. "Delisting" is only possible today because we have control during this bootstrap phase.
Closed source apps, malware and everything in between is coming. We don't want to become yet another "benevolent" dictator - and ultimately we can't as nostr is a permissionless censorship-resistant protocol.
We will become the best tool for users and developers to find each other with the highest fidelity possible in such an environment.

UX for end users and devs could be SO much better.

Great question!
We run an indexer that gets data and artifacts from various repositories. It can be slow sometimes, but it's improving - in quantity and speed.
All data is written to wss://relay.zap.store and https://cdn.zap.store (a blossom server). At the moment both are read-only for everyone except this pubkey.
The zap.store Android app fetches data from that relay which for now is hardcoded. Why? First reason is security: we do not have all the tools in place yet to let users confidently determine the trust profile of an app, so we're effectively curating. And second is UX: the NIPs for apps and releases are new and in flux, having control over the relay allows us to fine tune without causing many issues.
Once we progress with all that we will let users choose their own app relays. So you are right that it's not fully permissionless today, although you could definitely fork app and relay and run your own. But it will soon be.
