Apparently it’s an iOS appstore
Sounds very nice but can anyone explain me the point to it?
For those that don’t know Alt.Store is an alternative App Store. The EU is forcing Apple and Google to allow alternate stores. These got some funds, like a lot, to build an open store. Alt Store is it. I’m going to be talking with them on Fireside Fedi next week if anyone wants to learn more! https://firesidefedi.live or https://tubefree.org/@firesidefedi or !firesidefedi@tubefree.org
They’ve build Fediverse INTO their App Store, so ANYONE running the app store will be connected to the Fediverse.
Others have done this as well. Basically a trojan horse of freedom and openness being added to all kinds of projects atm. :D
What does this mean? This is like the third time they’ve “joined the Fediverse”.
I wish them the best of luck.
Great…How can we install it on non-EU regions? I know someone that might be interested on iOS.
