Still need a way to break the "Tyranny of the App Store" though.

PWAs!

Not really

Apple can only ban its user from nostr

And they can ban Apple froml their lives

(As a former Apple user now typing this on Graphene OS)

Respect.

wb ed 🤙

I think in a broader context you are still right though, google throttling anonymous accounts is inhibiting aurora store, and now using a VPN breaks it entirely. We need a trustable place for mirroring apks that can integrate with fdroid or obtanium, I think, as well as a volunteer army of people willing to keep it close to the google play store.

The day i get my friends on nostr, we will have broken through

PWA my friends… PWA

Yeah, its not bulletproof but its so much better than the app store tyrannical walled garden

I hope great devs (like all the Nostr ones I've seen) can make PWAs even better than they are currently.

💯

I really see the future there. I cannot imagine (theoretically yes but practically) Apple banning PWA

They don’t have to ban them; they have to make it harder to setup or have less API permissions.

I know it’s counter their trend, but we should be clear that it’s not completely bulletproof 😅

Agree 🤝

But together we will make it! 💪

100%

Isn't Apple required to open the possibility to sideload apps?

Also, there already is a way to circumnavigate iOS tyranny: Android.

googles a bit tyrannical themselves but yes android is much better

Android does not mean necessarily google. Look into iodeOS, GrapheneOSand the /e/ foundation.

exactly there is good forks, would be good if the whole thing could be wrestled far away from google

Open source means also that anybody, google included, can usr it

its called jailbreaking

its always "app store or google play" never "build from source" or "download .apk"
