Good catch, thank you! We created this for a hackathon we hosted and just updated it! No password needed anymore to use EXT :)

We offer some additional modules (https://docs.ext.store/) that allow you to leverage desktop features (like customizing the window design, etc.), that aren't currently available in browsers.

The product is both the store and the extensions! Without the extensions, the store isn’t interesting. Users want to install only useful / interesting software, and developers want to see what’s possible to create. For now, this is just a fun project for us to work on, that’s why the extensions are free, but in the future, we may take a percentage of store sales if a developer uses our payments API.

Based on our research, people care about what’s in the store, rather than the store itself. If there are interesting extensions in the store, our theory is that people are more likely to install the app (because they want the functionality of the extension).

Good point, thank you for bringing this up!

Our landing page is tailored more for end users, and our API docs are linked at the bottom of the website.
