That's Really cool. Quite simple, has some of the good features of the Mac app store (aggregation, search, updates) and,seemingly none of the downfalls (bad ui, oppressive rules).

I applaud the effort, but when comes down to using it, I don't like it:<p>- Way too slow to load (all main screen icons in Bodega: 8s, Mac App Store: 1.1s)<p>- not a very good list view (name + big icons + price)<p>- detail view has too small screenshots<p>- even stranger navigation (back button on the bottom?).

Surely the alternative is to sell it on your website like how Mac developers have ben doing for years?

Why should I use this instead of the Mac App store? (1st as a user, secondly as a developer)

aka service i used once whose time has come and gone.<p>app has a history of killing of things like this. hypercard killed the serious potential of userland frontier and on and on. of course, microsoft killed still far more. tis is the way of the world of software...

The Bodega logo is a straight rip-off from the Fender logo.
