I was able to purchase a new Pixel Fold with cash, installed @GrapheneOS, andI  am in the process of setting up my user accounts with the apps that I want.

I have to hand it to @zap.store. What a fantastic program / app-store! 

One of the main purposes of @GrapheneOS is to remove Google from the phone as much as possible, so really you need to not use Google PlayStore. This was always a real hassle before.

@zap.store has made it super easy for me, as they have most all of the programs I use. I was surprised to find Element Messenger in the store as well.

Great job @zap.store!
