@robi Yes, I think this is not far from running. Don't have time to work on it today unfortunately

time to circle back?

[andreasdueren]

@robi no pressure, huh 🥸

[robi]

@andreasdueren Hehe. just a gentle reminder of a previous completion attempt

[Nerdrelaxo]

Would love to see it soon in the Cloudron App Store!

[sponch]

@Nerdrelaxo same:)
Mobile App lot of faster than Immich, E2EE

[andreasdueren]

@sponch Yes me too, but I've been struggling with this packaging but also I'm a bit discouraged because I've packaged two apps now but I'm not sure if they'll make it to the app store at all. I udnerstand maintaining apps brings additional overhead but trying to get packages working is an investment I'm not sure I want to make if I don't know if it will actually make it to the store.

@andreasdueren this is a continuing issue, the need for easy deployment for custom apps via the App Store, if necessary as unsupported apps.

Big picture view : however hard they try, and even with a bigger team, [@]staff will never be able to keep up with the flow of new software and demand from users for X or Y or very niche Z.

But there are many users who need an AppStore UI/process to install custom apps., rather than manual build and install.
We already have "unstable" as a status.
It would help greatly if there was also "unsupported", requiring only a basic initial review and no ongoing official support or maintenance.
AppDev and less techie users could be more free to explore/extend without creating a burden for Cloudron ops.

@timconsidine … but then you get very close to Yunohost and the like that have tons of broken packages…

[scooke]

@necrevistonnezr TRUE. This renders the entire effort suspect. I don't bother using YH anymore, not even to try things out. It'd be a shame if that happens to Cloudron.

[timconsidine]

@necrevistonnezr yes, a risk that must be guarded against

[timconsidine]

@scooke yep. I never look at YH these days.
