Yalpstore: RFE: Add other reputable updating sources

Created on 31 Dec 2017 · 6Comments · Source: yeriomin/YalpStore

_N.B.: I apologize in advance for ignoring the entire issue template, but it seems completely geared toward bugs, while the following is a_ feature request.

Since folks running Yalp Store are likely running @ least 1 other appstore-type app (F-droid), it'd be great to extend YS to support other app update sources, such as F-droid-compatible repos, Amazon Appstore, APKMirror, &c, to manage everything centrally. _(I especially would appreciate having to _never_ run Amazon Appstore manually, as each update becomes even more cumbersome.)_

@TPS This feature is so big it requires starting a new project. Like I did with Play Store API.

I've purchased many apps from Appstore

I can not even tell you if this is possible to reimplement this. Technically Play and Amazon are quite different.

This FR can not be implemented in this form. It is not SMART. Sorry.

Yalp Store is built around one application source. Multiple sources would require rework in every part of Yalp Store. It is a huge task.
Yalp Store is built around Google Play Store. F-droid app is good enough to not need an alternative, IMO. And there is little benefit in an alternative for Amazon as most apps can be found in Play Store.

I do understand that perspective, but consider that many app _categories_ banned from Play Store (e.g., commercial adblockers) have found their home on Amazon. Also, I've _purchased_ many apps from Appstore, so that does influence my request.

Perhaps keep this as a long-term tracking FR?

Жаль, что в планах нет поддержки амазона. Не весь список приложений гугла и амазона пересекается. Кроме того yalp не может обновить сам себя, поскольку не может быть размещён в гугле, а от поддержки f-droid (где он есть) тоже отказывается.
