Description: Add support for Pacman
How?: There are already a variety of tools utilized for Pacman like Octopi. This would help create one universal package management tool.
But isn't Pacman only for Arch? It also works on most forks like Parabola.
However, in theory you could always check if Pacman is installed.

This would only be on the desktop version.

On the left sidebar where the AppImage, Flatpak, Snap icons are. One of those should have the same css as when you click it to show what view you are on.

Currently if you click one of those icons, it works until you click somewhere else in the app then it loses its focus (the active state)

I like this approach, it's nice and simple.
example

Ours will tell developers..

• How to clone the repos
• How to setup and build the project
• How to submit a pull request
• How to open up issues
• Code conventions

The "contributors welcome" badge on the README.md will be clickable and redirect the user to the guide

I visited the website on my Windows PC that has Bitdefender free anti-virus installed. It came up and told me it had blocked the website.

I am quite sure that this is only an issue with Bitdefender, and thus only an issue on Windows PCs.

Gatsby will have the following benefits

• Allow people to contribute easier (e.g no programming experience required, can add a new json, or md file to submit a new app)

• No server

• No database

• Easier setup

• Significantly faster

• Free hosting (would use https://www.netlify.com/

This would only be for the web app version. Desktop version using electron would use the API's from various sources.

The big disadvantage towards this is that we wouldn't be able to create a login system since we don't have a back end however I think this is a good thing because of user privacy.

I recently purchased linuxappstore.io to host this application on. The rest API is currently being hosted there so you can access the API via linuxappstore.io/API/apps

I chose this domain because the name is short and rememberable.

The desktop version has got preference in being developed in qt, gtk or would be something like a web-app

Description: Add support for APT
How?: There are already a variety of tools utilized for APT like Synaptic.
But isn't APT only for Debian/Ubuntu? It also works on most forks like Trisquel, gNewSense, e.c.t.
However, in theory you could always check if APT is installed.

Currently when clicking an app depending on the type..

• AppImage will bring you to the GitHub releases page
• Flatpak will download a reference file (used by the gnome plugin. I believe this only works with gnome based desktop environments)
• Snap will download a local snap

For right now, what I'm going to do is change these so

• AppImage will open a url to the app at appimagehub
• Flatpak will open a url to the app at flathub
• Snap will open url to the app at snapcraft

This will be temporary. Eventually this will be replaced with a details view #10

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open
2. Try to search for markdown or Markdown

Expected results:

• search results contain well known VNote, Marker, Mark Text, CureMarkEd and may be other editors

Actual results:

• search results contain only three editors:

On your index page no link on any app is working.
Browser: Firefox ESR 60.6.1esr
Hotfix: Change button-Tag to a div-Tag

The https://linuxappstore.io site has been down for a couple of days. I hope everything is well.

When a user installs an app they can review/rate it. 5 star system similar to the Google play store.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open store
2. Start typing search term
3. See that page is loaded, but search was not performed
4. Hit <Enter> to perform search

Expected results:

• search field reacts on <Enter> key, search is performed

Actual results:

• search field does not react on <Enter> key, search is not performed

This will be a list of uniquely random apps. Purpose is to help users discover new apps. The list will change every 15 seconds (subject to change)

Currently, the front-end lists the AppImage files from https://appimage.github.io/ only, adding the AppImages also hosted in http://www.appimagehub.com/ would add more content that is available to users, if there are files that exist in both sites only list one of the AppImages in the front-end.

Snaps have this icon when the original icon is missing

Maybe we need multilingual support for this website 😃

App store version needs to display some where on the page. I'll probably add it somewhere in the footer for now.

Please use

AppImage, Flatpak, Snap

without the "greengrocer's apostrophe"

AppImage's, Flatpak's, Snap's

Thanks.

On Firefox, on most websites, it's possible to right click the search field and select "Add a Keyword for this search". Sites like IMDB, Youtube, Github etc.

This enables me to more start typing a search term right from my url bar:

More info: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-search-from-address-bar

I think this could be enabled by:

1. Allowing searching using a query parameter (?q=searchterm). (I understand this is a big ask) (#40)
2. Adding a <form> element around the input field. This will make Firefox recognize it as a search.
3. Giving the input the name of the query argument name="q" for example.

Hi,

I know this site gets its AppImages from AppImageHub, but OpenRA has its own AppImages too, which you can link to with: https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/releases/latest. It lists a few different packages/installers, but one format provided is AppImage.

If there is a more appropriate place to request this addition, my apologies and please direct me to it.

Thanks for your time

The OpenSearch description format lets a website describe a search engine for itself, so that a browser or other client application can use that search engine. OpenSearch is supported by (at least) Firefox, Edge, Internet Explorer, Safari, and Chrome.

More info: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/OpenSearch

Screenshots of using this in Firefox:

I noticed that the site was down yesterday, possibly longer and now when I load the page I am getting a security warning. You may already be aware but I wanted to call it to your attention in case you weren't. Thanks for the great tool. I use it quite a bit

Currently there's no way to search all the apps at once. This view will handle that. I'm thinking about adding a new icon above the AppImage icon on the left hand side. The icon would either be a "house" icon or an icon that represents "universal" or "all".

This view will be the same as the other views but it will show a small logo (of either AppImage, Flatpak or Snap) either on top or towards the bottom of the app box that to show you what app type it is.

Need to determine how apps become "popular" whether it's click count, install count, or both.

Application title is cut off and no hover information so for users this is very confusing on which application they have to chose. An image says is better than words so see image attached.

Hello. Great idea for a project. One thing that I noticed was when I searched for something that isn't in any of the stores there is no indication that it wasn't found. I am just shown other apps that don't seem to be related. My suggestion, if possible, would be to show a simple message that a match wasn't found. I don't mind the other results being shown as well but it would make it less confusing to know that there wasn't an exact match. Thanks for considering my idea.

Are you aware of the feed at https://appimage.github.io/feed.json? Should hopefully make it easy to populate linux-app-store.

Most popular app store are run locally.
Athough, web support is great for users who want that.
I personally prefer desktop applications.

My feature request is to add desktop application binaries.

Currently the favicon is the React logo. Need a logo that looks clean and simple.

On https://appimage.github.io/ we claim to have 856 apps, yet https://linuxappstore.io/ says there are 630. Are you filtering some out or is our json feed somehow not delivering all?

Please allow initiate a search by using a query parameter. For example: ?q=searchterm.
This would be great for sharing queries and enabling: #39

Currently I calculate how many apps can be visible on the users viewport when they first go to the app. This needs to be recalculated when the user resizes their browser window.

Clicking on an app will show a details view. Similar to the Google play store. The details view will have information such as...

• Author
• Categories
• Screenshots
• Download button (Desktop only)
• Official link (opens url to the original source so if its a flatpak it goes to flathub, snap goes to snapcraft, appimage goes to GitHub releases etc)
