Integrate the Pling/OCS REST API (appimagehub.com) as the primary catalog
source with richer metadata than the existing appimage.github.io feed.
Backend:
- Add OCS API fetch with pagination, lenient JSON deserializers for loosely
typed numeric fields, and non-AppImage file filtering (.dmg, .exe, etc.)
- Database migration v17 adds OCS-specific columns (ocs_id, downloads, score,
typename, personid, description, summary, version, tags, etc.)
- Deduplicate secondary source apps against OCS entries
- Shrink OCS CDN icon URLs from 770x540 to 100x100 for faster loading
- Clear stale screenshot and icon caches on sync
- Extract GitHub repo links from OCS HTML descriptions
- Add fetch_ocs_download_files() to get all version files for an app
- Resolve fresh JWT download URLs per slot at install time
Detail page:
- Fetch OCS download files on page open and populate install SplitButton
with version dropdown (newest first, filtered for AppImage only)
- Show OCS metadata: downloads, score, author, typename, tags, comments,
created/updated dates, architecture, filename, file size, MD5
- Prefer ocs_description (full HTML with features/changelog) over short
summary for the About section
- Add html_to_description() to preserve formatting (lists, paragraphs)
- Remove redundant Download link from Links section
- Escape ampersands in Pango markup subtitles (categories, typename, tags)
Catalog view:
- OCS source syncs first as primary, appimage.github.io as secondary
- Featured apps consider OCS download counts alongside GitHub stars
UI:
- Add pulldown-cmark for GitHub README markdown rendering in detail pages
- Add build_markdown_view() widget for rendered markdown content
Enrich catalog apps with GitHub API data (stars, version, downloads,
release date) via two strategies: background drip for repo-level info
and on-demand fetch when opening a detail page.
- Add github_enrichment module with API calls, asset filtering, and
architecture auto-detection for AppImage downloads
- DB migrations v14/v15 for GitHub metadata and release asset columns
- Extract github_owner/repo from feed links during catalog sync
- Display colored stat cards (stars, version, downloads, released) on
detail pages with on-demand enrichment
- Show stars and version on browse tiles and featured carousel cards
- Replace install button with SplitButton dropdown when multiple arch
assets available, preferring detected architecture
- Disable install button until enrichment completes to prevent stale
AppImageHub URL downloads
- Keep enrichment banner visible on catalog page until truly complete,
showing paused state when rate-limited
- Add GitHub token and auto-enrich toggle to preferences
Schedule automatic update checks on startup based on elapsed time
since last check. Add interval SpinRow to preferences and show
'Last checked' timestamp on the dashboard updates section.
- Database v8 migration: tags, pinned, avg_startup_ms columns
- Security scanning with CVE matching and batch scan
- Bundled library extraction and vulnerability reports
- Desktop notification system for security alerts
- Backup/restore system for AppImage configurations
- i18n framework with gettext support
- Runtime analysis and Wayland compatibility detection
- AppStream metadata and Flatpak-style build support
- File watcher module for live directory monitoring
- Preferences panel with GSettings integration
- CLI interface for headless operation
- Detail view: tabbed layout with ViewSwitcher in title bar,
health score, sandbox controls, changelog links
- Library view: sort dropdown, context menu enhancements
- Dashboard: system status, disk usage, launch history
- Security report page with scan and export
- Packaging: meson build, PKGBUILD, metainfo
