This could be fixed by separating the store into an "official" repo that only includes trusted apps and an opt-in "community" repo with the rest.

It's not really an issue with snap itself.




It kinda is. Canonical explictly doesn't want to do that. The cli doesn't support any other server except canonical's.[1]

Flatpack on the other hand, does support that structure out of the box, and a few projects are already using there own repos.[2]
