This sounds interesting. I would be curious as to the federated features that are included. If you want to brainstorm I invite you to create a post on [email protected].
PS. In the SocialHub companion to that space, I outlined an idea to use the Murmurations protocol to auto-collect lists in directories, where the resources (apps in this case) advertise themselves to be included in directories that are interested in them. In Murmurations there's also an intriguing use case for the Index server to be federated.
My coding level are just HTML and basic CSS and in terms of theory of protocols its not very big but I would be interested to know what you talking about. I posted my start of a front-end in GitHub so if you want to have a look go ahead.
The brainstorm itself need not be anything technical. The Lemmy side of Fediverse Futures is purely for ideation. So the idea would be imagining what the concept of a "Federated App Store" would look like for people that use it.
The Murmurations use case in that story would look something like:
Then a federated app store:
Oh I see. I'm not creating it tho, I'm just giving my front-end as an open source project for anyone to use it. I spent a long time on that and thought it would be a waste to just be sitting here on my computer. Code is code, and if someone gives it a good life I'm happy for it :D
