📝 New EU App Store

News of the Day
Apple's tight control over the App Store is being challenged by the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA), compelling the tech giant to enable alternative app marketplaces. Among the emerging contenders is AltStore, an alternative app store gearing up to leverage DMA in the EU, planning to support Patreon-backed apps. This move signifies a shift towards more diverse monetization strategies, allowing developers to bypass Apple's hefty commission fees by integrating Patreon, thereby fostering a more direct relationship with users. The AltStore aims to offer a simpler user experience compared to its current version, eliminating the need for users to sideload apps via a computer or refresh apps every seven days. With Apple's new API and framework adjustments, the AltStore's upcoming EU version demonstrates a potential shift in app distribution and monetization, challenging the traditional app store model and suggesting a future of more personalized and varied app marketplace ecosystems.

In the last year, @sevensevensix has made it a priority to build the tools that help scale the services we know our founders need most.
One of the biggest? Distribution.
Our founders are shipping great product and getting great feedback, but no distribution = no impact.
