After two years of development on "AM", AppMan and many Appimage packages... I'm seriously considering giving it all up

• AM

  76 318 9.9 Shell

  An "AUR-inspired" Database of AppImage packages and a CLI to manage/install/update them system-wide! This repo lists 1900+ standalone apps for GNU/Linux. You can extend it with custom repositories, create your own installation scripts and even build AppImages on the fly! "AM" Application Manager: Easy to use like APT and Powerful like PacMan!

I'm a lover of AppImage packages myself, I prefer them more than many other packaging formats for Linux, and for them I built my solution, I also wrote a website for it, https://portable-linux-apps.github.io, and both the site and my two scripts are released under the GPL3 license... so, what's wrong?

• AppMan

  37 114 9.3 Shell

  Manage 1900+ AppImage packages and official standalone apps for GNU/Linux without root privileges using the extensible and ever-growing AUR-inspired database of "AM Application Manager". Easy to use like APT and powerful like PacMan.

I started writing AM/AppMan two years ago, it was just a custom script to install and always keep any Appimage package I needed updated to the latest version. Then become something much bigger.

• AppImageUpdater

  4 37 10.0 C++

  AppImage Updater for Humans built with QML/C++ with Qt5 :heart:.

I personally wrote a lot of libs for AppImage delta update for Qt framework, 4 years of work with no real results. (AppImage Updater (Maybe some results, but not the wide adoption I hoped for, I think this is mainly due to low number of people using Qt and wants AppImage delta update inbuilt in the app, so I completely understand why this project has low demand.)
