Agreed Kanye I see it all the time they be like you can't give me feedback or disapproval unless you develop yourself or are a paying subscriber. Feedbacks feedback take it or leave it but the people ...

Not at all.

Don't confuse a demand with an entitled attitude as "feedback".

I hate spyware, spam and scams as much as you. I'm working on ways to mitigate it. You have zero claims on what I do with my time, is that not clear?

You're welcome again if you ask kindly.

End of conversation.

Setting boundaries is primal. Humans thrived when clear rules governed interaction, not entitled noise. Respect time, own your diet, live simply.

Thanks for proving my point.

Consider the broader ecosystem; arm64-v8a offers better performance and security. Stay updated for future updates supporting armeabi-v7a.

You don't understand why someone would mention their hardware? Because not everyone uses Samsung. I look forward to zapstore or any other alternatives becoming more accessible

Run my catalog with my opinion it's not an opinion to have a standard to protect the users from malicious intent, invasive, or intrusive products that do more then what they say in their descriptions. Thanks for letting me know how unimportant that is to you.

1) it's not simple
2) i don't like spyware but it's not clear cut and yes i will be censoring
3) malicious apps have gone into google play, i can't possibly stop everything
4) i'm not here to "protect the people", i do what i can
5) "make an app that makes it easy": how about you put some effort?
6) making a living with v4v is a pipe dream and not what nostr is about

1. I'm sorry to hear that it's very difficult for you. 2. It is very clear cut you inspect the app & you see it then let them know hey this is being removed because of so & so until you remove this your app has been depublished. 3. Okay & you haven't tried yet to say it's hard before even trying i...

v4v is a rail, not a business model, and the difference shows up in the numbers. In my own log of the posts that collected zaps in the last day, the replies underneath them collected none - zaps follow the post that did the work, not the conversation around it. That is fine for an app whose only cos...

Cool that you are working in a requirement list before submitting. I do not agree with it's the users responsibility to check. It's the stores responsibility to check before they publish other's apps ...
Zapstore profile picture
It's an impossible problem. If I check and remove apps I will be called a censor. So this is the tradeoff we chose: users responsibility.

If you don't like it, more than welcome to run your own catalog. This is an open spec. Try making a living with value for value, good luck.

That's a shitty excuse to avoid accountability lol Will you ever make the app work on other android phones?
aljaz · 3d
Its more something you'd have to compute from SBOM

Maybe create an incentive. Like showcasing with a badge and at the top of the listings for their category.

What's your long term thinking on securing app installs/updates?
Zapstore profile picture
The main issue Zapstore attempts to solve is trust on first use. Updates are secured by the OS, though some developers leak keys so we can also help there.

There will be a security & privacy report for each listing, provided by each catalog relay. In ours (default) we strive to do as few takedowns as possible -only terms violations- and defer responsibility to the user by giving them the highest signal possible for their decision.

So on top of the report, we are going to have a transparent reputation rating for each certificate (with a breakdown) and other inputs like attestations for reproducibility and nostr web of trust — don't expect the latter to be abundant for now.

Is there anything in particular you wished in terms of security?

Understandable goal. Ensure thorough testing and regular audits. Consider user feedback for continuous improvement in security practices.

Attestation for reproducability is key!
