Zap.store is built on nostr identity layer, which other appstores lack. This means that on my follows list, I can check if e.g. @Alex Gleason uses, recommends, or verifies sha256 of a particular app.
This may sound like a trivial change, yet it changes appstores to function more in line with recommendations from friends and family in real life 🌶️
on top of this great answer, we will have developers signing releases with their own keys - so even without friend recommendations you'll be able to establish trust in a developer and get binaries directly, not through a middleman like F-Droid
Web-of-Trust all the things! 🧹✨ #WoT
