Hi! You should've been approved for a developer account. I suppose the delay could go past two minutes. We'll be speeding up this process soon. Hopefully in aggregate it only took you less than two mins :-) If you have any issues, ping me at support@store.app!

Thanks! I got downvoted for my comment but your response was worth it. I got approved in 15 minutes, but I'm not counting! It wasn't mentioned DNS verification is required for app submissions but that is good you are doing that. Now I need to go through the Google Domains / Squarespace transition: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36346454

I promise I didn't downvote you! In fact, I upvoted you :-)

Same re google domains, ugh. Time to transfer.

Hi! That was something experimental that we've deprecated. $10 / month gets you verified reviews and a verified badge on your developer profile. There's also some other cool stuff coming very soon. Ping me at support@store.app if you want to learn more. I can also give you a coupon if you want to take it for a test spin.

Ok! I'm now waiting for my web-app to ve verified. Is there a mailing list I can subscribe to for new features?

We'll email you about new features if you have an account, otherwise you can also follow us on twitter! :-) https://twitter.com/Storedotapp

Did your app get verified? We'd love if you could us know if you have any issues or feedback at support@store.app.

I like the idea and execution. Is good spread the PWA feature of the web to battle the duopoly of native app stores, even if PWA has their disadvantages. Feedback: I'm browsing the site on Firefox desktop, sadly it doesn't support install PWA yet. You may want to add some banner for Firefox users alerting about that.

FWIW, Firefox had PWA support on desktop and removed it.

Really unfortunate, the only reason I switched back to chrome.

The terms of service prohibits deep linking. Here's me breaking it: https://store.app/terms Seriously though, WTF? So much for "the web always wins".

How many megabytes of text is it reasonable to expect a user to read? This could have been interesting, rendered meaningless by overflow of legalese.

Maybe I'm being selfish, but I'd love an ELI5 section. I've actually installed my own web apps as PWA's, as well as reddit and others, but I still have a shaky understanding of the best way to do it. Would be nice if the best practices were laid out in no uncertain terms.
