I don’t want to ask for permission from anyone. I’d rather just publish an apk on my site and tell people to use obtainium or something, at least for now until im on the play store. I don’t see what advantages zapstore has for sovereign publishing over an apk and your own server, as it seems strictly worse because it is permissioned. What happened to permissionless tech?

That’s the eventual goal. We’re making the right steps. All I am looking for is to determine a trusted signer for an app. First, we need to step away from the permissions platform app stores, then provide a permissionless way to discover and host the apps.
I will clarify this matter in a repost. I am working on adding relay management to the next version of the app. I promised I would and it is happening. Sorry if you didn't get the memo @jb55 but asking me would sufficed. By the way, I actually thought about removing the whitelist feature for relay.zapstore.dev (more on this soon). As for the "relevant who follow" feature when first installing an app, it's meant to protect users, not to create an "affinity scam" of which you accused me of. If the UX is not ideal, I appreciate constructive criticism, not passive-aggressive rants. I have zero interest in these kind of interaction when we should all be pushing freedom tech forward. Zapstore is fully nostr based and will always be. It is indeed permissionless tech, I just need a little more time to finish the feature.

Exactly, permissionless way = managing relays + blossom servers I'm working on it while keeping a safe experience for everyone in the meantime.

I thought nostr builders would be nicer with other nostr builders… Specially when they are in fact building freedom tech…
