That is definietely the idea, but in practice all the app stores suffer from same problems - mainly that keeping the apps up to date is a lot of thankless work.

That is definietely the idea, but in practice all the app stores suffer from same problems - mainly that keeping the apps up to date is a lot of thankless work. Yunohost is mainly full of community contributions, quite a few of which have been abandoned. Some are stuck on old versions, some use migration scripts which may or may not do things the correct Yunohost way, some use migration scripts with bugs which can lead to data loss. The front end is slick, but it's the wild west behind the scenes. There's not even a mechanism for regularly reviewing if apps have been abandoned - I've manually reported a couple. Cloudron is probably better than most as they have a financial incentive, but then that targets their apps towards "professional" users.
