 One of my main goals with zap.store is to help raise the quality bar of open source software.

Most FOSS is basically driven by programmers' passion – but on average programmers suck at UX.

We need better incentives for more professionals other than programmers (designers, product people, psychologists) to join open source projects and turn them into real competition to traditional high-quality closed-source applications. 
 You are amazing! 🤙🐕⚡🫡 
 Thank you my friend 🫂 
 It's amazing but how can i search all the apps category? If i dont know what I'm looking for theirs only 6 options  
 We're slowly improving. You can use search to search, you don't need to know the name of the app. 
 It's amazing don't get me wrong  
 This is a great goal. I look forward to have a Google Play alternative that is easy for the masses to use. 
 Also my dude, whenever you're ready, I'll reach out to some of my old colleagues and get zap.store plastered all across the Android blogosphere. 🔥🔥🔥 
 I'm so looking forward to that moment! Thank you! 🫂 
 The Android fanboy in me loves this.

 This is a great goal to aim for! Initially, passion might be the main driver to get ecosystems like zap.store going but if you succeed, there’ll definitely be the incentives to attract skilled people from all backgrounds. In the meantime, if you or any open-source projects you’re linking in with need pro bono security/penetration testing or advice to get up and running then I’m your man! 
 Thanks, appreciate it! I could use some of your help to protect our relay and API services 
 Awesome, happy to help! I’ll DM you shortly.

Sounds amazing

Should one verify the download if installed through Obtanium? (If that's a stupid question, please excuse my ignorance; I'm just a simple pleb...)

 I’m a designer with front end experience, how can I help? Any recommendations on forums or communities to share ideas and stuff? 
 I don't know, maybe designers do 
 Most people here on nostr are UI developers. With great UX abilities

 I did make tons of applications. None of them has anything to call UX 
 Like it or not there's always a UX 😄 
 Tru it has UI. I'm more of a TE guy.

TE - torture experience. 
 TX 😅 
 We just need to push the term now 😂 
 It takes a village

 I can't wait to be able to update apps with it  
 I know mate. Didn't forget 
 What are these incentives? 
 GM bro 🫡 
 I’m a designer, I have no idea how to contribute 
 I've installed but looks stuck without updating. Just shows nothing.

Either way, thank you for making available this app. It sure is needed.
