I think the following is a good way to do an "App Store":
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/
And companies, individuals, non-profits, and others are all allowed to run their own repos, or mirror these.
- ixtli 10y agoTo be honest I think the chrome extension storefront(?) is pretty decent as well. It's just a matter of curation from the point they've got it at. The reality is that the average user _wants_ a barrier to entry: no one likes what download.com or sourceforge have become.
- weaksauce 10y agoMozilla now, and not sure how long it's been doing this, does code review on all submitted extensions to their extension marketplace. Google chrome's store is less restrictive as they don't do any review of it but rely on user reports to find violations of TOU/malicious activity. Similar approaches to the apple app store vs. android store... up front binary check from apple vs. a permissive store with user reports being the primary thing that pulls apps from circulation.
