    The less people use the app repositories the less support they get by app developers, they need any support they can get if they want to offer a decent number of apps

      @RmDebArc_5

      When you release an app using the Nostr protocol, clients like Zapstore grab the app directly from GitHub, GitLab or whatever platform the developer uses, bypassing the need for repositories.

        Zapstore still has some kind of app repository, even if that isn’t the official name. And someone still has to publish the app

          Zapstore is only a client that grabs Nostr events from Nostr relays and displays the “app release” events.

          Any Nostr client could display those events.

          You grab Zapstore from their website or GitHub, just like you do F-Droid.

            But someone has to make sure that the apps are being added to Nostr, no? Or does it just display all apks published on Github/Lab/etc?
