#A repository for add-ons for the flipper

I think there should be a repository for flipper addons, games, scrips, applications... like for example PyPi, npm where theres just a list of people created addons that u can download/ view the git and so on

The idea has been rolling in my head for a while. I could setup a build container with a list of repos where the apps source code are and do daily builds, maybe some kind of watcher which looks for changes on either the apps repos or the firmware. I'm more comfortable with Microsoft stuff tho, so it would be probably running on Azure.

i think it should be as simple as possible, minimal backend development.

#

the main 3 things i think are: 1. easy to search between addons, 2. easy to download/add to flipper an addon you like 3. maybe an api for developers to integrate with

#

maybe small room for documentation on the addon page.

Yeah, currently I've collaborated on @remote lotus's repo updating the community apps for official firmware and at first my automated build setup would be used to update that repo, but it would be great to have a frontend

another option, and i dont really like it but add option for developers to make their addon for purchase. so more developers add really good addons

#

i think well leave it for a day or two, too see if anyone already working on it or there is something like that already

That would be great, but currently the firmware is rapidly evolving and having paid addons would mean the vendor would have to build and update their apps themselves

yes you are right

Some kind of flipkg install [appname] would be cool

I’m gonna buy flipper.gg or something and have a repo typa thing there I think

I might have been skipping some work and sleep but it was fun.

#

Next thing, I'll work either on the catalog (app database) part or add support for applying patches since there are some repos which are outdated and don't build without modifications and I don't want to wait for my pull requests to be accepted on them

I know @quiet locust was working on this with a few others. Website and everything! 🙂

Been slowly restarting this one. Got a new version of the build container, "published" some apps here and there.
