Zapstore is an improvement over centralized app stores by virtue of building on top of nostr’s relay model. That is, information can be stored on an infinite number of relays, which makes banning by any censor a much more difficult task.
nostr:npub1wf4pufsucer5va8g9p0rj5dnhvfeh6d8w0g6eayaep5dhps6rsgs43dgh9 how many relays does ZS publish to today?
If I am a censor, what do I ban in order to censor one or all apps on nostr:npub10r8xl2njyepcw2zwv3a6dyufj4e4ajx86hz6v4ehu4gnpupxxp7stjt2p8 ?
Today, Zapstore publishes to one relay.
No one is going to censor any apps on Zapstore anytime soon.
Definitely not before I add relay management. It's not "just" about the UI, there are a lot of considerations specific to software releases (not the case for kind 1 notes).
Also, unlike many other devs on nostr, I do want to get the spec right- learned many lessons over the past year. No need to pollute relays with half-assed events that then I would need to be backwards compatible with. Keeping things in one relay is much easier for migration.
Keep buidling 💪
