Can I download apps for Sailfish OS outside the Jolla Store app?

So I was thinking I should somehow try out Sailfish OS before I go and buy a Sony Xperia X to make sure I really want to use it. I already have a perfectly good phone, and spending $300 on something that I might not want after all isn't a good idea. I know Sailfish OS was ported to the 1st gen Nexus 7, and I have one of those. I just need to replace the digitizer because I dropped it. So I'm thinking I'll install it on that. However, the Jolla Store isn't working on the 1st gen Nexus 7. Not much point in buying that new digitizer and installing Sailfish OS if I can't install any apps. Can I download them from a website or something?
@lispy why not convert your comment to an answer. As it is a correct one.
