Thinking of discontinuing the indexer and just keep developer-signed apps (as every other Nostr client)

Signal started marking their releases as "pre-release" on Github: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/releases

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.
