Gm At least the fake wisp on zapstore was from a friendly nostrich just playing with his bitcoins and @Zapstore is just bugged af But still... don't download it

I'm thinking that's it. I forked Wisp for testing purposes and did the search so Zapstore would index my version, but I didn't intend for anyone else to see it in Zapstore!

It's a feature until someone misuses it. Publishing with zsp shows terms you're agreeing to and walks through steps. Having users able to search repos and have them come up is cool, but maybe some kind of confirmation showing what it does would be helpful, to prevent these unintentional ones, and warn malicious ones. It still shows who published yours - I can see both versions on mine. And if the APK's are the same, I can see how it would show both as installed... Though that is confusing. People aren't used to freedom and the responsibility that goes with it. But it's worth building!

... To see if your fork would come up. I'm not saying you intentionally messed it up. I'm saying this handy indexer is a feature people can misuse (use for purposes other than intended). This showed it's too easy to make a mistake, or to sabotage, and I'm sure they'll fix it. These tools are still quite new - I'm glad this first incident was just a mistake, not intended as an attack. Well done for speaking up.
