Foundation launches the App Store for Pi – PiStore
Interesting news over at the Foundation. They’ve released some software which acts as an ‘app store’ for the Raspberry Pi. It runs on X windows under Raspbian (whether it works on other distros is unclear) and allows download and upload (moderated) of apps and materials.
Good news for all Pi enthusiasts. Whether or not it becomes the one-stop-shop for apps remains to be seen. There are now many repositories on Github and many pieces of software available via the package manager. However, the convenience of having software that allows you to do this is great.
