  • I really like topgrade because it integrates all update tools in a single command https://github.com/r-darwish/topgrade

    ok not all. It doesn't handle non-unix, proprietary updates. here's what it supports https://github.com/r-darwish/topgrade/wiki/Step-list

  • calibre

    The official source code repository for the calibre ebook manager

  • Calibre [0] --great app but, as per parent post, every fecking time I open it there seems to be an update available. And it's never an in-place patch update or even auto-download either. Every time it involves having to visit the developer's site and downloading the entire ~300MB application disc image again.
