HackStore Aims to be Cydia for Mac OS X

HackStore is a new application that wants to provide developers with a place to distribute apps not allowed in the Mac App Store.

This program for us is the epitome of Cydia for iOS, but on a Mac OS. This means that in our app will be applications and tweaks for Mac OS, which is not in the Mac AppStore, or for any reason they have not posted there.

The biggest Mac Appstore problem is that they limit their users in everything, without giving an opportunity to expand these limits. This is not correct, because ONLY users should decide which applications they should install and which one do not.

We think, HackStore, it is a break through the narrow confines of Mac Appstore. A lot of good applications should be created and promoted but if they will never come to AppStore they will be not popular at all, so we have created HackStore!

Why is this news? Other Mac App stores such as App Bodega have been available for some time. (And actually work...)

This program is not working!!!! The screen is grayed and absolutely nothing shows. Is it compatible with OSX Lion?

They've gotten hit so hard since this story broke, that their servers couldn't handle the traffic (15,000+ people at once). They are trying to get it all back online.

Aside from the app being a pile of garbage(no way to pause/cancel downloads, terrible UI, etc) the developer totes the slogan "No piracy apps here, forever and ever." Yet, right on the main page of the app you can download a pirated version of Counter-Strike 1.6...... Epic fail.

"No piracy apps here, forever and everÂ», so the cracked and piracy apps I am the HackStore application developer. " I wish that made sense
