Sparkle VS stig

* i use appimagelauncher[1] to integrate with my menus etc but sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't? i haven't really figured out the rhyme or reason

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks checking every 5 mins is a little bit excessive!

Seeing as it's macOS only is there even any reason to roll your own update mechanism when you can use the Sparkle framework [1]?

The bucket contains dmg files and an appcast.xml that allows for updates. I'm using the auto_updater package, which in turn uses the popular Sparkle library.

Our build process is automated using fastlane. That handles building and testing the app as well as signing, notarizing and uploading to Amazon S3. We distribute via a link on our website -- Callisto. Updates are handled using Sparkle. We have a custom built appcast generator as part of our website that reads the S3 bucket and builds the feed that Sparkle uses.

Something like Sparkle but for Node.

I was greatly disappointed too when I found out about transmission-cli's deprecation, but I have since found and replaced all uses of it with stig[1] which, for me, does the same thing and more.

Stig is a client application that effortlessly connects you to the BitTorrent client app from the comfort of your CLI (Command Line Interface) and via a TUI (Text User Interface).

Nice TUI. There's also stig which is optimized for managing thousands of torrents

You mean, Tremc and Stig ?

I use transmission with the Stig CLI/TUI interface.

If you're using Transmission, stig has a CLI. Maybe you can script it by using that.

stig?
