In the wake of the last "app stores are monopolies"-outrage (which happens at least yearly), I was thinking about a monopoly-less-appstore ecosystem.
In a place where everyone can start an app-store, people will need to carve out their niche. People could then start hand-curated appstores. For a niche. Put together with care and effort.
A little like-f-droid, but much more common and therefore covering a lot more niches. A "christian appstore", "socialist appstore", "appstore for old phones" and so on.
Kindof like the old "manually-created" indexes, but for modern times, in which phones are the primary gateway to the internet.
