Signal started marking their releases as "pre-release" on Github:

Releases · signalapp/Signal-Android

Reason why those are not showing up as latest on Zapstore. We used to fetch pre-releases, at that time a Termux pre-release screwed up lots of setups. Pulling pre-releases then needs to be evaluated on a per-project basis, this is hard.

Current estimate of active Android smartphone users worldwide: 3.9 billion About 5 million use custom ROMs (LineageOS, GrapheneOS, crDroid and others) That is 0.13% 🤯

Dear @GrapheneOS, does an app store where users choose their curators (essential for censorship-resistance) violate your security model? 👀 > App stores are supposed to be a single source of apps. You should look at the device management APIs where app stores must be a single source of apps in order to be permitted when disallowing unknown app sources and only permitting first party or specific known app sources.

Censorship is fine, even necessary. The problem is when that is a monopoly - both in theory and in practice. And this problem has shades of grey. Apple/Google having unique app stores as centralized chokepoints and telling you to quit their ecosystems if they ban an app is a problem, because there is no credible exit. For some that exit is acceptable, not for me.

We're having backend issues since last night, and working on it

Nostr signer UX for decryption is broken and should be used minimally and carefully. Redesigning parts of the Zapstore app such that there is one single request for decryption, by delegating to a device key. It also has nice UX side effects. Funds (NWC strings and eventual seed phrases) will not be tied to any Nostr key.

The same system that protects pedophiles is going to ban VPNs to "protect the children". With a similar pretext they are coming for your apps, and will also come for your bitcoin. We accept no lies from these psychopaths. We are preparing.
