Tent Catalog App Proposal
Raw
gistfile1.txt
App stores are fundamental to the success of modern platforms. Tent should have one, especially as decentralisation makes discovery even more difficult.
Overview
TentCatalog offers discovery, recommendations and one-click installs.
Recommendations are based on what the user's followers/followings have installed (if they have also installed TentCatalog) and what 3rd party catalogs recommend as well.
Flows
User installs TentCatalog.
TentCatalog requests read/write permissions of type https://tent.io/contrib/types/post/installation/v1.0
When user installs another app, TentCatalog is notified
Upon notification of installation, TentCatalog POSTs an installation Post
TentCatalog reads the installation posts of the user's followings/followers and recommend apps based on what's popular among them.
TentCatalog contacts a discovery service of the user's choosing to share and/or receive recommendations.
