It does have a discussion system at the moment where you can comment on a script, but there is no system to rate the script and have the total of all the ratings combined.
I have, but I think it would be a bit too expensive on my VPS, but might use it if my site ever catches on. I have also considered using something like Try, but it isn't a full sandbox.
Thank you for the feedback. I think I will remove the voting system for now while I figure out of solution. I will probably not be adding the user reputation system, unless I figure out a way to do it without facing the problems you have mentioned. As for collaboration, I will add a feature allowing app maintainers to set whether or not non-maintainers can add scripts without maintainer permission. Thank you again for the feedback, it was very useful!
- It is different from a package manager because it isn't platform specific because you can add scripts for any distro or architecture.
- It isn't really comparable to something like that because it just stores and runs bash scripts to install stuff.
- It can install any app, from anywhere, not just specific to zsh.
- It's mostly convenience. Also, not all websites have a script to remove once installed, or automated ways to update.
Where would one find 'local' stuff? Should I just email places and hope they have old servers they need to get rid of? Thanks.
Ok, I think ill just go with a couple orange pis and a old desktop.
Thanks. Would the noise and heat from a dedicated server be noticeable in neighboring rooms? Also how much of a power consumption increase would be expected?
There is always libreoffice
It comes on nearly every laptop and pre-built PC, also software support.
Will I still need a PayPal account?
The point is not to have the script directly install the program (e.g. getting the binary, putting it where it needs to be, and making a desktop file), but to have the script be used as a wrapper for any of the methods you mentioned above. This would allow for a more consistent installing experience, and in the future, a unified CLI. It would also be better for the reasons mentioned in my post.
