Absolutely! The concept of a Data App Store—centralizing and streamlining access to datasets—mirrors how digital platforms have evolved to prioritize user accessibility and personalization. It’s similar to how niche platforms are reshaping the way people consume content.

Take MP3Juice ( https://mp3-juice.org/ ) for example. It allows users to search, stream, and download music freely, bypassing the limitations of traditional streaming services. This kind of platform reflects a growing trend: users want more control, flexibility, and convenience tailored to their preferences—whether it’s in data access, entertainment, or tools.

Just as MP3Juice customizes music access beyond official app stores, a Data App Store could empower users to engage with datasets on their own terms—efficiently, openly, and flexibly.

This concept of a Data App Store really highlights how data-driven tools are shaping the future of tech and personal utility. One great example is the **Body Measurement Visualizer ( https://bmicalculatornhs.uk/home/visual-bmi-simulator/ ) —a tool that turns raw health data into something visual and easily understandable. Just like data apps, it shows how visualization can make complex information more accessible and actionable.

The idea of a Data App Store is fascinating—bringing structure and accessibility to datasets like how app marketplaces revolutionized software. It actually reminds me of how niche platforms and modified apps are gaining popularity. For instance, Traffic Rider Mod APK ( https://trafficridermod-apk.com/ ) gives users a customized gaming experience beyond the standard app store offering. It's all about tailoring digital tools and entertainment to personal preferences.

This is a brilliant breakdown of how foundational frameworks like Streamlit could transform app development—not just for enterprise data tools but even for niche application ecosystems. As someone working in the gaming and mobile app space (specifically around simulation games like Bus Simulator), I can clearly see parallels. Right now, mod developers face similar challenges in integrating data-driven experiences into games—like real-time route analytics or player behavior tracking. If Snowflake and Streamlit build this “app store” model for data apps, I can imagine a future where modded versions of games like https://busapksimulator.com/ also plug into cloud data layers to enhance gameplay realism. Data apps aren’t just for businesses—they’re the future of interactive experiences across the board.

Re: "the product could simply require a customer entity with a predefined schema", Microsoft has been pushing their Common Data Model for several years, but I haven't seen many ISVs jumping onboard, despite the fact they open sourced it.

Because that's not a catalyst for development and a marketplace.
