One of my main goals with zap.store is to help raise the quality bar of open source software.
Most FOSS is basically driven by programmers' passion – but on average programmers suck at UX.
We need better incentives for more professionals other than programmers (designers, product people, psychologists) to join open source projects and turn them into real competition to traditional high-quality closed-source applications.

You are amazing! 🤙🐕⚡🫡
It's amazing but how can i search all the apps category? If i dont know what I'm looking for theirs only 6 options
Thank you my friend 🫂
We're slowly improving. You can use search to search, you don't need to know the name of the app.
It's amazing don't get me wrong
This is a great goal. I look forward to have a Google Play alternative that is easy for the masses to use.
The Android fanboy in me loves this.

Also my dude, whenever you're ready, I'll reach out to some of my old colleagues and get zap.store plastered all across the Android blogosphere. 🔥🔥🔥
In other words how to turn sats into many

I'm so looking forward to that moment! Thank you! 🫂
This is a great goal to aim for! Initially, passion might be the main driver to get ecosystems like zap.store going but if you succeed, there’ll definitely be the incentives to attract skilled people from all backgrounds. In the meantime, if you or any open-source projects you’re linking in with need pro bono security/penetration testing or advice to get up and running then I’m your man!

Sounds amazing
Should one verify the download if installed through Obtanium? (If that's a stupid question, please excuse my ignorance; I'm just a simple pleb...)

I’m a designer with front end experience, how can I help? Any recommendations on forums or communities to share ideas and stuff?
I don't know, maybe designers do

That’s me. 🙋🏻♂️
🙋😂 i feel so called out 💀
I did make tons of applications. None of them has anything to call UX
🫂 that's why you have all of us 😊
Dude what you’re saying and intentions are great and I salute and zap you but not putting the link in the note so we can go and check what this zap.store is a UX fail :)

I know mate. Didn't forget
lol thank you for that
Thanks!
Like it or not there's always a UX 😄
🫂
Thanks, appreciate it! I could use some of your help to protect our relay and API services
What are these incentives?
Awesome, happy to help! I’ll DM you shortly.
WIth zap.store on the street next is git.store for sure. We need to retire github to a more secure protocol in #Nostr. Your work is a gem and a game changer friend 💎
Thank you amigo
I’m a designer, I have no idea how to contribute
Tru it has UI. I'm more of a TE guy.
TE - torture experience.
TX 😅
We just need to push the term now 😂
I've installed but looks stuck without updating. Just shows nothing.
Either way, thank you for making available this app. It sure is needed.
Hey sorry about that. Next release in the following days should fix it, and if not the error messages will be more clear
Unfortunately not possible yet, I'm working on gitlab support but it's not ready
