I agree 999999999999% with the discoverability problem. Seems like if you were first on the app-stores you just made money because there wasn't much around you... but these days they are incredibly saturated (with good stuff and with crap), so we definitely need a new way to discover stuff.

The stores themselves are really the gate-keepers to installs/sales. Right now it's just about paying to get to the top of the chart (with a product that can stay there I guess).

There has got to be another way other than top ranks, and maybe that lies in a community-driven model of some sorts. Who knows ><
