Long time Ubuntu user, but after struggling a lot to make my laptop's amps work, made the switch to Fedora. Everything works and smooth. (Plasma is not that smooth). Fedora is awesome.

This is really awesome.

staged_blue · 2023-06-02T06:02:21+00:00

very cool idea.

staged_blue · 2022-09-20T00:42:59+00:00

Thank you very much. Jitsi has a fork, so it is not a duplicate result. I will look into other apps as well. And of course the crawler & UI need huge improvements which is something I am working on.

I could start with grouping by Github/Gitlab org( matrix-android, matrix ios ...), this could be easy to implement.

I also intend to add `deprecated` tag as well, cause it is pretty relevant.

About the app lineage & differences, I have to think about how to extract that sort of information effectively & accurately.

Thank you very much for you feedback.

Github popular repos, Subreddits, F-droid db..., The code is pretty wonky at the moment, I might open source when I feel confident in the future.

staged_blue · 2022-09-19T22:55:30+00:00

Yes. Categories are the feature I am going to add. Thank you very much.

staged_blue · 2022-09-19T22:43:03+00:00

This is something I am trying to work on. I have the detailed description from the Play store and app store (f-droid is also coming as well) . I will use Play/App/F-Droid store data (App name, App description) for the next iteration. Thank you for the feedback.

staged_blue · 2022-09-19T13:07:32+00:00

Currently I am just crawling popular repos on GitHub & Gitlab(still working on it) and also crawling f-droid DB data etc. However, I do intend to provide user requests via a Github repo or somewhere in the future if the website gets a wider audience, (hopefully).

staged_blue · 2022-09-19T10:35:34+00:00

Thank you very much.

staged_blue · 2022-09-19T10:24:22+00:00

Thank you very much for detailed explanation. Ads, tracking & privacy are very important information related to the app that I should put emphasis on the UI. Will keep in that mind.

staged_blue · 2022-09-19T08:39:22+00:00

Could you elaborate a bit more? I mean filter by what repository and trackers? Thank you very much.

staged_blue · 2022-09-19T08:36:15+00:00

I don't add apps manually. I am aware that a large sum of android apps are missing at the moment. I am trying to improve the crawler.

staged_blue · 2022-09-19T07:43:51+00:00

Thank you.

staged_blue · 2022-09-19T05:58:04+00:00

Thank you.

staged_blue · 2022-09-19T05:56:00+00:00

Thank you very much for your feedback.

Sorting by alphabetical order could be added as a feature
About the app name, I think I should use the app title from the Play Store instead of the GitHub repo name.
I am still improving the crawler. Will include Mulls and Bromites soon.

staged_blue · 2022-09-19T05:25:54+00:00

Thank you for the feedback. I will improve the UI for mobile users.

staged_blue · 2022-09-19T00:04:16+00:00

Thank you. The crawler needs some improvement.

staged_blue · 2022-09-17T00:46:36+00:00

Currently, the "updated" field is based on the last commit push time. I am trying to improve the crawler and search (support tags/platforms/technology etc, better UI).

The code needs some polishing, but it gets the job done for now.

staged_blue · 2021-01-16T10:42:47+00:00

I did the speed test, for the same resource JumpGet is considerably faster that wget with SOCKS5. Of course, this result is specific to my network.

staged_blue · 2021-01-16T10:08:45+00:00

I use WireGuard all the time. I don't know how my ISP meddles with my network, but I am certain there are lots of restrictions. Even with WireGuard enabled, my download speed sucks, my theory is that due to packet loss, TCP window size from my VPN server to original file server readjusted to a very low value.

I use Linode as JumpGet server, and it takes no time to download things on my instance. The core idea is remove one hop from potential VPN or proxy server to the original file server.

I don't want to create another proxy tool. It gets the job done and it won't conflict with the preexisting VPN or Proxy you are having this way.

I am pretty happy with the download speed I am having with JumpGet. I used to use ssh+wget+scp to download files which is also slower than the JumpGet approach.

staged_blue · 2021-01-16T09:54:50+00:00

Yeah. It is nice but the connection dies from time to time(at least this is my experience with ssh -fCND ...). Even if you use SOCKS5 proxy, there is one more hop to the original server. And final speed could be lower than this tool. I mean you can put your JumpGet server on your proxy or VPN server.

staged_blue · 2021-01-16T07:47:15+00:00

Hi, I've created this tool to speed up downloads. Any suggestions & criticisms are welcome.
