Oddbean new post about login | logout After multiple years of trying, Tim Apple FINALLY allowed me to KYC with his stupid company and bestowed upon me one of his Apple Developer accounts. Incredible that a dirty Argentinean without a fixed residence, phone number or valid POA like me was able to be blessed by their grace. Truly can’t wait for @Zapstore to obsolete this system. Regardless of my bitterness of how horrendous this process was I’m very excited about bringing many of my apps to a permissioned App Store next to you, starting with @Highlighter.
A privacy and freedom advocate should never use or promote the use of Apple products let alone beg for their permission. MAGA, Make Apple Go Away.
We need something like let's encrypt but for codesign
Definitely
Yes, it is the few that make it difficult on the many, thus the onerous requirements and difficulty to get access to services that should be easily accessible. I blame the few more than I blame Apple, myself.
Android & Obtainium
was other platforms an offered option in the non-multi-choice here? but i agree, in principle except fuck android as well #linuxonly
Permission to app not needed on Android.
How were you trained? What culture? nostr:nevent1qqsdyy704na9273uy8qjqn6z4733wk5cpy7d2rlkdn9qk335zkhvteczyrafsj7hmweg9ur7zmn6apajdg48hxuskujx53rhrux0ttjcqx84yvz80k2

👀 This is a game changer.
How egalitarian of them to protect their brand and its associations, ability to gatekeep / be middleman for their hapless, stockholmed userbase, and control over a smallminded and ill-engineered ecosystem by raising the bar above the opportunity of the upwardly mobile developers they pretend to champion. Apple is a Shitcoin

Yes - keep winning battles awaiting the @Zapstore strategic victory
Tim Apple xD

Congrats still working on it kuself
Just wait when you and your apps are in the in-review queue 😅 I’m curious on your opinions on webapps / PWAs 🧐
What is highlighter? I went to the site and I’m still not sure.
loving the idea of @Zapstore please keep us posted. GM 🙃
First thing that comes to mind as a store alternative is F-Droid as it has been around for years. Why is zapstore better or what is really better here? Are the apks hosted on decentralized basis so it's censorship proof? Not clear from the website or by first look on GitHub.

Love to see this. A true rockstar 🙌
For iOS there is a short term fix, or rather workaround, based on the altstore/sideloadly approach. And there is the long term solution, to enable surfacing such good quality apps (with right incentives) that iOS users will end up leaving it.
Does iOS allow side loading without jailbreaking?
It's a pain, but yes
Can you point me to documentation. As someone who would root and jailbreak phones I'm insanely curious at the moment.
Check out how altstore works
