Hello 👋

Curious how you feel about adding "Track Only" sources to your list?

For example:

• Nether SX2 Patch
• Turnip Drivers

Both are technically under the "Emulation" category, but I don't see any "Track Only" app configurations that exist currently.

Maybe I am stupid, but it wasn't obvious to me that this project is a website. Would be nice to add a link. I can do a PR next week if someone else did not fix it earlier.

They share their update here via dropbox, but I struggled to make it work with Obtainium. Requesting help.

Hello @ImranR98 ,
I would like to suggest that you add a link to the subpage https://apps.obtainium.imranr.dev/ labelled "Market" or similar to the Obtainium links on your main page.
Thanks for the great app,
Dwain

The license of the project is missing. This should be adjusted.

I am wondering how scalable is this project if everyone is supposed to edit the same data.json and will there be merge conflicts due to it? There are already some commits that add or remove the last line change at the end of file.

I would add pre-commit and pre-commit ci as a first-aid to keep unified formatting, but I don't know how far that would carry to help.

Rather than hardcoding a list of sources (see #4), I think it's simpler and more future-proof to just turn the config from being a single object to an array. You can then have multiple configs for the same app. The frontend UI will then display the first item in the array as the "main" config, with others being smaller buttons at the bottom of the entry.

For example, we currently have this:

{
    "config": {
        "id": "io.homeassistant.companion.android",
        "url": "https://github.com/home-assistant/android",
        "author": "home-assistant",
        "name": "Home Assistant",
        "latestVersion": "2023.10.2",
        "apkUrls": "[[\"app-full-release.apk\",\"https://api.github.com/repos/home-assistant/android/releases/assets/129563824\"]]",
        "preferredApkIndex": 0,
        "additionalSettings": "{\"includePrereleases\":false,\"fallbackToOlderReleases\":true,\"filterReleaseTitlesByRegEx\":\"\",\"filterReleaseNotesByRegEx\":\"\",\"verifyLatestTag\":false,\"dontSortReleasesList\":false,\"trackOnly\":false,\"versionDetection\":\"noVersionDetection\",\"apkFilterRegEx\":\"app-full-release\",\"autoApkFilterByArch\":true,\"appName\":\"\",\"exemptFromBackgroundUpdates\":false,\"skipUpdateNotifications\":false,\"about\":\"\"}"
    }
}

It could support multiple sources like this:

{
    "configs": [
        {
            "id": "io.homeassistant.companion.android",
            "url": "https://github.com/home-assistant/android",
            "author": "home-assistant",
            "name": "Home Assistant",
            "latestVersion": "2023.10.2",
            "apkUrls": "[[\"app-full-release.apk\",\"https://api.github.com/repos/home-assistant/android/releases/assets/129563824\"]]",
            "preferredApkIndex": 0,
            "additionalSettings": "{\"includePrereleases\":false,\"fallbackToOlderReleases\":true,\"filterReleaseTitlesByRegEx\":\"\",\"filterReleaseNotesByRegEx\":\"\",\"verifyLatestTag\":false,\"dontSortReleasesList\":false,\"trackOnly\":false,\"versionDetection\":\"noVersionDetection\",\"apkFilterRegEx\":\"app-full-release\",\"autoApkFilterByArch\":true,\"appName\":\"\",\"exemptFromBackgroundUpdates\":false,\"skipUpdateNotifications\":false,\"about\":\"\"}"
        },
        {
            "id": "io.homeassistant.companion.android",
            "url": "https://example.org/home-assistant/download",
            "author": "home-assistant",
            "name": "Home Assistant",
            "latestVersion": "2023.10.2",
            "apkUrls": "[[\"app-full-release.apk\",\"https://api.github.com/repos/home-assistant/android/releases/assets/129563824\"]]",
            "preferredApkIndex": 0,
            "additionalSettings": "{\"includePrereleases\":false,\"fallbackToOlderReleases\":true,\"filterReleaseTitlesByRegEx\":\"\",\"filterReleaseNotesByRegEx\":\"\",\"verifyLatestTag\":false,\"dontSortReleasesList\":false,\"trackOnly\":false,\"versionDetection\":\"noVersionDetection\",\"apkFilterRegEx\":\"app-full-release\",\"autoApkFilterByArch\":true,\"appName\":\"\",\"exemptFromBackgroundUpdates\":false,\"skipUpdateNotifications\":false,\"about\":\"\"}"
        }
    ]
}

The UI will then have a list titled "Alternate Sources" with links for the "example.org" entry.

If any extra configs have a different App ID from the first one (which shouldn't happen), they will be ignored.

Also note that currently, configs include latestVersion and apkUrls properties, which aren't really needed (Obtainium should be updated to support importing configs with these fields missing).

They share their beta apks here, but I struggled to make it work with Obtainium. Requesting help.

The redirect page content is being displayed to the left side of the screen:

The problem appears to be 583121c, the content displays normally before this change.

@ImranR98 The last attempt to merge the last three pull requests failed. Cloudflare was not able to build the website. Have you noticed that yet? Any ideas?

It can be good on desktop to see two cards in the same line to reduce scrolling

Just as a suggestion.

Currently, when several categories are selected, the system checks whether there is one or more app(s) that contain both categories. This can be useful to further narrow down a filter result due to a very crowded category.
However, if you don't know exactly which of the two categories the app applies to, you intuitively select both because you expect to get results for both categories.
I would suggest introducing a new mode and setting it as default (the current one can be moved to a new "filter options" dropdown if desired): This new mode shows first (alphabetically) the apps that match the most categories. Next, (alphabetically) the apps that correspond to the second most categories, and so on.

If you know the name of the app but don't know exactly which category it belongs to, it can be tedious to scroll through the entire list. You could add a bar with jump labels at the top of the page (here), which is sorted according to the alphabet of the first letters and whose jump labels refer to the first occurrence of the first letter.

Hello,

can I (and others) leave here some requests for the apps I'd like to see on the site?

Thanks!

I don't know how it works together with https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/css/bulma.min.css which seems to have a variable for it, but I would suggest either of these two:

• "Liberation Sans", "Arimo", "Arial", sans-serif;
• "Liberation Serif", "Tinos", "Times New Roman", serif;

I think they should handle all the major operating systems especially with the last fallback. Liberation is commonly installed on Linux and is the default font family of LibreOffice with same sizes as Arial/Times…, Arimo/Tinos are similiarly metrically compatible with them (part of ChromeOS core fonts) while the last will just pick something if no font is available (that tends to be the case with Android or mobile devices in general).

Sans-serif is commonly said to be more readable, but serif has more distinguishable I/l.

Of course, maybe "Liberation Mono", "Cousine", "Courier New", monospace; with the same metrical compatibilities would be more thematically appropiate with how Obtainium may be a bit more likely to be used by a technical user than a not-so-technical-user?

This issue occurred to me due to the "side-discussion" at #61 (comment) on my JavaScript console warning a lot about blocked fonts.

A redirect page such as:
https://apps.obtainium.imranr.dev/redirect?r=obtainium://app/%7B%22id%22%3A%22dev.patrickgold.florisboard.beta%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fflorisboard%2Fflorisboard%22%2C%22author%22%3A%22florisboard%22%2C%22name%22%3A%22FlorisBoard%20Beta%22%2C%22additionalSettings%22%3A%22%7B%5C%22includePrereleases%5C%22%3Atrue%7D%22%7D
...has no way to get to the main page of the project to browse for other app links.

I think this is a problem because someone might be sent a link like the above from a friend or another website, and want to investigate what this apps list is about - but they'll have no obvious way to do so without guessing that they can edit the url.

A header at the top to take you back to the main page is one solution, or a link at the bottom with text like, "This link was contributed to apps.obtainium.imranr.dev by the community."

Hey there,

I'm looking to add some new apps to the project. I've got a couple of questions though:

1. How do I figure out the id for the app I want to add?
2. Is there a quick way to the get the additionalSettings from my app, or do I need to manually find and set these?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi,

I tried to install Mullvad VPN from the proposed configuration file but it don't work. I also tried to create one myself on the Obtainium app but I failed. I always receive an error "Could not find a suitable release" .
Same think if I uncheck APK by CPU architecture filter.

Maybe can you correct the config file yourself or remove it ?

PS : I discover this app list accidentally. Maybe it's not enough highlighted on the main Obtainium repo ?

Regards,
