Yes but I think its the same problem as Fdroid had, they signed apps with their own keys and you need to wait until they publish the Apps. With Obtainium and github I get it direct from source and with the signed Dev key, so no third-party and the fastest secure update.
Correct me if I am wrong.
nostr:nprofile1qqs83nn04fezvsu89p8xg7axjwye2u67errat3dx2um725fs7qnrqlgzqtdq0 not sure, I also mainly use obtainium for that reason
Depends on the app. For many Nostr apps, the devs themselves sign the release and you get it just as fast as getting it directly from GitHub, with the added benefit of it being signed by their Nostr key.
However, most other apps are signed by nostr:npub10r8xl2njyepcw2zwv3a6dyufj4e4ajx86hz6v4ehu4gnpupxxp7stjt2p8, and there can be a delay. Usually not much of a delay, though.
I have generally moved to using the Zapstore, and only use Obtainium for apps that aren't available there. Which is surprisingly few.
Not the same as Fdroid.
Either:
- Developers nostr-sign their releases
- Our indexer pulls from Github and other sources and nostr-signs those
We never build from source. What you get "direct from the source" (as in what the dev built) on Obtainium is the exact same you get on Zapstore - we are simply indexing it for convenience.
You are probably confusing certificate signatures with nostr signatures.
On another note: this quarter we are pushing a relay that does auto-indexing, so anyone can suggest a repo to index. Effectively having the same huge catalog as Obtainium but without the UX downsides.
Can't wait to publish Bitcoin-Safe.org on nostr:nprofile1qqs83nn04fezvsu89p8xg7axjwye2u67errat3dx2um725fs7qnrqlgzqtdq0 for desktop.
Can't wait to get to desktop!
I'll spin up more AI agents to get there sooner 😄
