Yesterday was the initial release of a new app store called Zap.Store coming from the NOSTR community, and it shows great promise. You can find the official social media account 👉🏻 [here]https://primal.net/p/npub10r8xl2njyepcw2zwv3a6dyufj4e4ajx86hz6v4ehu4gnpupxxp7stjt2p8).

It is based on the NOSTR protocol, which means it can be a decentralized app store, hosting the apps all over making it near impossible to take down an app.

It will have Bitcoin Lightning wallet integration so you can send or "Zap" Bitcoin to developers to fund apps you like, or easily tip them to show your appreciation for their effort on apps you use.

Everything is still brand new, so how it all evolves over time will be interesting.

You can grab the APK at https://zap.store and sideload it onto your DeGoogled phone. Don't forget to verify the download using the SHASUM command in Linux.

For now you sign in with a NOSTR public key (npub), not your secret key.

If you don't have an npub key you can create a public/secret key pair using the Amethyst app or the Primal app.
