Currently, and that's an issue I've also encountered, there are apps on appimagehub.com. Which is why I am hoping more effort will be put in populating it. But i don't think it should have a cli package manager, i think it should be gui based, and focused on convenience. I don't think it should replace apt, yum or pacman. Just a new way of managing packages that is focused on convenience. And perhaps a convention that in a distro if you download any apps to ~/Applications then these will be auto updated provided they are sourced from an "app store". Trust can be fixed with a set of built in security certificates as apt does, but in a basic, low maintenance good enough fashion. When I switch to casual user mode, or even for daily work, good enough is ok as long as its super convenient.
