I just found the Zapstore. Is it safe?
Since it’s open source you can show a bit more trust but it depends on the number of the users, if nobody audits the code it could be a scam targeting the small number of early adopters
I recognize some of the apps from F-Droid and the couple I did download installed ok. I never heard of the zap store so I was wondering if they were new. They do show the cryptographic code when u download stuff so it can be manually checked. I would think this is already being done by any app store, but this doesn’t hide the hash checks.
If the apps are open source it’s a first good sign, still coding is very diverse and complicated and an exploit could be hidden anywhere for years like it has happened with Linux
ok-thanks for letting me know!
