This is seriously impressive, especially the speed of growth and starting so early. What’s interesting is how much momentum there is right now around alternative app stores and cross-platform distribution. It feels like more developers are questioning the traditional ecosystems and experimenting with new models. I’ve been exploring a similar space with [https://unstore.io](https://unstore.io/) , a web-based app store focused on free games, security, and distribution across Android and Windows.
