    Since someone else brought up superapps, do they seem like an initial attempt to get around the manufacturer’s app store lock-in?

    Super apps allow adding mini apps. Seems like an app store.

    The goog/apple app stores are already saturated by malware, I can’t imagine some mini app store would do better. Even if the big two did do a better job, how would they go about vetting all the code these super apps might have access to?

    I guess I’m too jaded, but it seems like just another malware loader you intentionally install.

    Am I being too hard on the concept? Are there any really good ones you’ve used?
