Tons of progress on Orchard, a permissionless app store (Flatpak to start, AppImage on the roadmap) for Linux using Nostr as the backend. The basics are all built, now finalizing the spec, web of trust for reviews, repo verification, etc.
Orchard hosts nothing, and will come with extensive dev documentation on how to set up CI workflows to publish your apps, hosted on your OCI registry (public or self-hosted). All events will be mirrored across multiple relays so there is never an issue with an app not being available.
0.1 will be out this week so feedback will be appreciate. Will announce a repo URL soon.
