This definitely resonates with me. If you want to see what a good app store could look like, check out SetApp [0]. They charge a monthly fee for access to a curated list of paid apps, they offer a 7-day trial IIRC. I initially subscribed for their two email clients, then stopped using them as they were both shit (slow, glitchy, poor UX, etc.). I am still subscribed just because I like the idea and just how many apps they offer.

- smnscu 6y agoOh, for sure, and you have brew cask for an awesome collection of free/oss apps. https://formulae.brew.sh/cask/ https://formulae.brew.sh/cask/ That's more on the nerdy side, I was thinking more in the sense of the fancy/fun/quality feeling the Mac app store selection should evoke, instead it's just a ghost town with expensive bullshit and ass UX (at least based on what I remember - I haven't opened that damn app in ages lol).
