@manton Please stop. A quick search will turn up numerous failed Apple products and that is just the stuff they tried to sell. There is an equally impressive catalogue of stupid ideas from Bicycle onwards. Soon to be joined by the stupid idea of alternative app stores. Do any users actually want this?

I use a lot of audio plugins. Here is a picture of my Desktop with just some of the stores/portals I use. This is not a good experience... remembering what came from where - some Heavyocity come through their store others are via Native Access...invariably the store needs updating...fingers crossed that the update did not log you out... finding your username and password to log back in... then you can check if there is an update for the actual software.

Is this the kind of thing you want to see on phones?

I get the big picture - Capitalism is a stupid idea, along with private property and nation states, but here we are 🤷‍♂️ t
