I didn’t fork this topic. I just rename it as it was very negative. I feel that’s not constructive.
Regarding the original topic I have no clue what was the intention.

Only Sailfish os and Jolla and the other thread State of jolla store. Both are uncertain topics without clear intention. If op have to explain in comments what he wants then its faulty. My suggestion close both of them and op should start a new one with clear intention.
One more solution i have thought today - is to create web page with catalog of community apps for Sailfish:
Store-like catalog - where developers could create account and register their links to repositories/releases pages of their apps
with fields:
- icon,
- banner,
- oneliner description field,
- Link to repository
- Link to store of releases RPM packages,
- Supported OS versions list,
- Reported tested devices (Device, OS version, OS type (official / community)
Web Store also can have reports/rating system - to report for cases of OS breaking / found malware, non working apps, etc..
By reports or by rating system - app page could have colored line varying from green to red with line of cause text like: “Users have considering this app as very stable” or “Potential OS breaking cases were reported”
Also catalog would have tree of registered categories of apps, and filtering could be created considering those categories / tags / synonims to search apps easier like “Whatsapp”, “Youtube”, “Maps”, “Tools”, “Console utilities”, “AI”, etc..
And pages for exploration with filters with swipe-like interface to scroll trough catalog with ease and joy.
There’s a webpage collecting app compatibility: https://sailfishos.app/
There’s Chum: https://sailfishos-chum.github.io/
And OpenRepos: https://openrepos.net/
So I think the webpage section is covered. Only thing that’s “missing” is a webpage for Harbour apps. But I have a hunch it has been requested before.
