I'll have to look into this wave of fdroid hate, but the real question is, is it worse than Play or App store? Because it's meant as a workaround to those.
Discussion
Its real. The strength of play store is a chain of trust, review of apps.
Try zapstore.Dev
Is nostr:nprofile1qqs83nn04fezvsu89p8xg7axjwye2u67errat3dx2um725fs7qnrqlgzqtdq0 reviewing or checking authenticity?
Good question. Only thing should check for us security. Who is running the project?
Zapstore pulls APKs from different sources, mostly Github. We calculate hashes and when users install an app, they download it from the original location.
We do NOT build and host like F-Droid.
DVMs checking for security and privacy (and reproducible builds) are coming.
