Sometimes it means the update is waiting on our review, though this is less common. 2026-07-13T18:13:47Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqswcvtlg6fe6hk56rfherztwetzfa2hy6gyxsdypgt0h77v4zwvh8czyrhc3z8w5763lj368r9qxnpfrvq2a8vt6qamk9snejcd8z3dmnlsje4y2ny In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8sdje779wq6x6f0d0mlecsdjtxz7848h75kfjgxek3rlxf3tr8mslysana'>nevent1q…sana</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Yes! We&#39;ve been hard at work readying Accrescent for broader adoption by reworking our developer console to make it run more stably, fix bugs, tighten security, improve the UI, simplify development (so we can develop faster and so it&#39;s easier to contribute), and prepare for more feature additions.<br/><br/>We&#39;ve written tens of thousands of lines of code and hundreds of tests (most not public yet) to be merged which will help us accomplish these goals, and we&#39;re still working on more.<br/><br/>While we can&#39;t promise any specific timeline, we&#39;re hoping to open up developer registration more broadly later this year so anyone can sign up and submit their apps to Accrescent.<br/><br/>Happy to answer any more questions! 2026-06-19T17:54:17Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqszc3c0ym6cm5mgfapn0r2lknln0vg7mfvacd632qklzv76ccgqunqzyrhc3z8w5763lj368r9qxnpfrvq2a8vt6qamk9snejcd8z3dmnlsjla4jk4 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsrav5cnywjrzuqq2jyeejlkhvk0jsevletxq6cdkttn4gfk62s28cuwkewh'>nevent1q…kewh</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>RiMusic and Clipious should be delisted (not visible to new users) once we implement support for that in our servers.<br/><br/>We don&#39;t manage the updates to apps in Accrescent, their developers do, so if the app hasn&#39;t been updated, it&#39;s because they haven&#39;t uploaded a new version (or in some cases, because we haven&#39;t reviewed the update yet).

We don&#39;t want app developers to encounter too many issues. We artificially limit submissions right now for this reason, though developers frequently request submission access.<br/><br/>We recently received enough funding to sponsor a full-time developer though and have been making more extensive development progress in the last few months as a result. 2025-12-02T17:36:37Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqszfj4uhv724u0ye6rkd8pswn8up6a2ae23f0jlv3qrechfmqjkd8szyrhc3z8w5763lj368r9qxnpfrvq2a8vt6qamk9snejcd8z3dmnlsj8534c4 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsg6qys7ezmn2p9s2v9sagmxadz8c4dgacyw6262puxdpm4s2fgusgcftf6p'>nevent1q…tf6p</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Hi!

But the TLS certificate pinning concern is currently obsolete since Accrescent doesn&#39;t have TLS certificate pinning since version 0.19.0.<br/><br/>Accrescent could have a management feature like that. However, that doesn&#39;t resolve some of the other issues with third-party repositories not listed on the website. For example, unattended updates aren&#39;t guaranteed if the store doesn&#39;t enforce a sufficiently high minimum target SDK. It&#39;s also not Accrescent&#39;s goal to be a generic app installer for any source, but instead an independent app store.<br/><br/>That section of the website is outdated and should be updated to reflect the above. 2025-03-19T16:58:18Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsyyv4velsxyxacwcgm83ldruexyynxlcpz955sdp37n3p6zzdav7szyrhc3z8w5763lj368r9qxnpfrvq2a8vt6qamk9snejcd8z3dmnlsjra9n5e In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszn7x3vumle59nu3wk6n9ytlj485lnl5tycstttr32w08nwdtdrfczg97xs'>nevent1q…97xs</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>We appreciate you mentioning this. Unfortunately, we don&#39;t currently have the capacity to develop and maintain official documentation for how to run Accrescent independently. It would also be very difficult for a third party to keep up with running Accrescent right now since the backend is constantly changing and often requires manual intervention to update which requires special knowledge of how Accrescent works.<br/><br/>We may consider supporting documentation once Accrescent is more stable. 2025-03-06T03:34:27Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs9krmhz64g5em556n9g5xjl0kxjdmwgac27pw0e5nddfnyv64d7kczyrhc3z8w5763lj368r9qxnpfrvq2a8vt6qamk9snejcd8z3dmnlsjxfj62a In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsd3t5xxn78pwcg4se75uu9xe3zmwl0fyrgdm6u7f8xh4mqqnt0x2gcqh5g7'>nevent1q…h5g7</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>We do intend to add support for linking websites and/or source code repositories for relevant apps (and require ownership verification of them), so we hope these will help users choose which apps to trust as legitimate once they&#39;re implemented. But we recognize that&#39;s not a complete solution. 2025-03-06T03:23:45Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsd3t5xxn78pwcg4se75uu9xe3zmwl0fyrgdm6u7f8xh4mqqnt0x2gzyrhc3z8w5763lj368r9qxnpfrvq2a8vt6qamk9snejcd8z3dmnlsjffqrcq In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsrkavyf5al2294guk42kqxhudrz5nl0pxhlles4zl4ncyvegj2t5s5xgskx'>nevent1q…gskx</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Hi! This is a work-in-progress issue as we&#39;re not certain how to handle it fully. The tracking issue is here: <a href="https://github.com/accrescent/meta/issues/36">https://github.com/accrescent/meta/issues/36</a>.<br/><br/>Domain verification is required to ensure that the developer uploading an app with a given ID controls the associated domain. Beyond this, we don&#39;t have a concrete policy except that obvious impersonation or intellectual property infringement will not be tolerated. How exactly to detect these isn&#39;t yet decided. 2025-03-06T03:21:07Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs9088eela95l5azsk482v00ad85e46w56397nqcv7zmw22qrw6s2gzyrhc3z8w5763lj368r9qxnpfrvq2a8vt6qamk9snejcd8z3dmnlsj55km4g With the Amazon Appstore shutting down, it&#39;s becoming even more important to invest in sustainable alternative stores you can trust.<br/><br/>See how you can invest in Accrescent&#39;s future!
