kettle-7 / appshop Goto Github PK

A simple google query shows lots of appshop names already, we need something simple but reckognizable.

Preferably the backend runs on Debian 10.

• Would we need an elastic search database, or will something simple like postgress do the job? :)
• What language will the backend be written in?
• How do we make it scalable?

For appShop we want the fullest privacy restrictions possible.

• This means we will collect only the information needed to make the experience best for the enduser.
• Analytics (if needed, but i do see the value here) should be anonymous.

;-) i have a matrix server running still ;)

and im thinking about building something Debian based.. so a nice appstore would be nice ;-)

Maybe I am still immersed in the beauty of the pre-Unity era, but this interface may be able to be applied to the UI of this project .
Just include Progress in Installed and add updates .

Could this be done?

i actually like the name appShop over helloShop because it removes “the connection to” helloSystem.

A multiplatform “appstore” would be a fantastic way for dev’s to promote their software..

We could make guidelines for each platform? Maybe say “apps need to be written in this and this language” and then when a user installs the appshop binaries we could make sure the dependencies include the programming lnguage etc?

If anyone has any apps they'd like to challenge me with the task of porting, please say. I can package a linux app for you, provided your code isn't messier than a dog's breakfast (like mine).

I've done:

• KolourPaint

I'm doing:

• Mozilla Firefox
• Mozilla Thunderbird Mail

to prevent us from too many issues, lets throw up balls here!

idealy, the client would run a daemon on the OS that takes care of "the environment" like installing python for python based programs, Ruby for Ruby based programs, etc.

also, the programmers would follow some basic guidelines when it comes down to where the app gets installed (app bundles). preferably in /Applications and/or ~/Applications this makes it easy to backup your whole application stuff?

would be nice to have some visual guidelines as well for people who start programming. We could help them make apps look uniform and sexy?

Privacys is a thing. everything we have should be encrypted and not be readable by human eyes (save for statistics) so we dont have to wory about data breaches etc. maybe work with certificates?

it should be possible to export your shop config, for users without an acount. on a new computer they could simply import it, and the system takes care of restoring the apps. combine this with a simple backup of the app locations, and i think its pretty fool proof?

Also, it should be possible to use an account. in the long run we would want to feature paid apps, and users should not pay more then once for each app. we would need nothing other then an email/password combination.
