IMHO, in the post-App-store…

Jul 17, 2023

IMHO, in the post-App-store world:
- centralized parties don't block you from using an app
- your identities are not tied to any apps, no KYC is centrally enforced
- apps don't use data lock-in to retain you
- apps don't violate your privacy and resell your data
- value between market participants flows directly without middlemen
- apps don't have to re-implement a social layer and instead just use nostr
- data layer is interoperable with loose standards driven by code, not central planners
- apps are audited by free market, not centralized parties
- apps are discovered organically in place, not through ads or app store search box
- web of trust is more important than centralized trust metrics, both for apps and for content
- moderation and spam protection are free markets that handle local cultural etc differences properly, not a centralized all-size-fits-all enforcer
- advertisement consumption is voluntary
- creators/devs are compensated properly with splits directly by users
- open-source wins and the number of apps explodes due to no-code AI driven tools
- winning apps are built by tiny loose teams, not rich corporations

Hopefully this and much more.
