Why ask Goggle's permission?

I've started using the Zapstore app store being built by the Nostr community. Zapstore is an app built around empowering developers to release and sign apps over the Nostr protocol without having to get permission from any app store or any other entity such as a tyrannical government

F-Droid could release apps over the Nostr protocol, and bypass Google completely

Zapstore.dev

Well then, share the F-Droid.

@Yolanda405

I do share share F-Droid, but as of about 6 montgscago, my list of DeGoogled apps now has Zapstore linked as the first option, with F-Droid 2nd.

Releasing apps over the Nostr protocol is a better way of doing releases.

- No need to get permission from anyone

- You can donate money directly to developers using a Bitcoin Lightnjbg wallet.

- You can verify apps come directly from the app developer, and can choose apps Nostr friends/follows, aka Web of Trust (WOT).
