 open source software doesn't need appstores 
 Even you can use F-Droid with custom repos. Easy to use. 
 obtainium even better 
 Actually, to gain visibility it needs multiple app stores, that points to the unique source of true, the manteiner repo.
The good news is that Nostr, empowered by NIP-89, naturally qualifies as multiple app store, with built in signatures. 
 normies do though, for being such sheep it is unbelievable how unable to follow technical directions they are. 
 Death by convenience 
 Fact, but if you want to get your open source out to normal people then you need a one click solution 
 Normal people need to realize that one click solutions are a trap 
 No, open source devs have to understand that not everyone wants to learn a programming language to use a secure phone! 
 yes it's the open source devs fault🤦 you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink 
 the more convenient solution is almost always the worse choice, is what I'm trying to say.

real food > fastfood
walking > take the car
verify > trust 
 And this is the fucking open source dev hybrids I hate. Make software accessible for everyone or stop programming. The outcome is the same! 
 thanks for the advice  
 what we need is coordinators
