Building nostr:npub10r8xl2njyepcw2zwv3a6dyufj4e4ajx86hz6v4ehu4gnpupxxp7stjt2p8 and #purplestack | BA 🇦🇷

I'm scraping a curated set of projects from Github, just to bootstrap the project and make it usable.

That creates a few events (of kinds 1063, 30063 and 32267) that go to a specialized relay, now hardcoded at wss://relay.zap.store .

So what you pull in the app comes from the relay - not from Github directly.

I pull from Github because APKs there are signed with devs' certificates, unlike F-Droid

Zap.store is built on nostr identity layer, which other appstores lack. This means that on my follows list, I can check if e.g. nostr:npub108pv4cg5ag52nq082kd5leu9ffrn2gdg6g4xdwatn73y36uzplmq9uyev6 uses, recommends, or verifies sha256 of a particular app.

This may sound like a trivial change, yet it changes appstores to function more in line with recommendations from friends and family in real life 🌶️

on top of this great answer, we will have developers signing releases with their own keys - so even without friend recommendations you'll be able to establish trust in a developer and get binaries directly, not through a middleman like F-Droid

Lmao I accidentally left a primal link to profiles in zap.store, and this has been the most popular complaint so far

that's right, forgot this was a shitposting race

I'm missing great notes from closer nostr friends in my feed, realized this when manually checking their profiles

And yet I saw a ton of other random average notes lately

Algorithms are a good thing

yep you're right!
