V4.0.1 is coming soon with a heap of new features like:

• Download count for each app,
  
• Ratings for each app (5 - star),
  
• App hashing to make auto-updating apps, making sure apps you have the newest version, (this works by checking a hash, if different, you can click the updates and it comes up with what apps you have and what apps need updating
  
• Fixing for viewing an app with new features,
  
• Fixed multiple bugs,
  
• Better design, allowing you to customise the colours of your store!
  
• Categories now allow you to click on the app to view it, this was a bug I never fixed, so apologies!!
  
• Versions ^
  
• Custom versioning
  
• Code embedding support (want to use someones api? but don't want to keep updating it when they do? we now allow embedding for code that allows you to put an embed code into your app and it will always get the latest code and load it into your program),
  
• Analytics information for each app you have with a fancy graph and easy to use information, to see how well your app is doing,
  
• Added a nice in-built mail system to allow you to message an author for information,
  
• We also added a issue page allowing you to submit issues for apps and they can get approved! once fixed,
  
• We now support an online chat to chat in real time with other players via http,
  
• App store now uses my API that is always up to date,
  
• A popup file browser to select a file to upload,
  
• With the help of Shelfa, we are attempting at allowing you to upload a folder, keeping the folder hierarchy, and a nice looking compression algorithm!
  
• Also comes with a nice interface and support for backgrounds using: Wait_'s cloudpaint!

I would help if I could write in html. I actually am learning it at the moment. And CSS and JavaScript and PHP.

This is the Lua program not the website />, the website has already been re-made just not released it until I feel it has all of it />.

Also guys released V3.4 that now logs downloads! /> your program should automatically update

I'm getting an error in CCEmuRedux. I tinkered a bit, and found that the http API cannot use https URLs. Can you change all instances of "https" to "http"? See if that helps?

I use emulators and in minecraft and It works fine, will attempt to fix it when I can...

Can I have permission to implement this into my OS?

of course as long as credit is given somewhere:) it doesn't have to be in app but in the credits section of your os is fine:)

[Kizz]

I may modify the program to add in an exit button, but general functionality is preserved.

Also here is my forum thread which will include the credit and links once I have implemented the store. Thanks for letting me spread your program around haha

Haha that's fine:D as long as it is being used

Hmmm.

I'm interested in using this in the OS to come out of Silica (who knows when that'll be though) as I really just can't be bothered maintaining the OneOS app store at all.

Is this something you'd be okay with/might be interested in? I'd want icons though.... sooo yeah... I'd also want to make a custom client for it (one that'd use Silica naturally).

That's fine with me, can't believe you are actually considering it /> but yes I can do, PM me with a design of what you want and I shall add it in:)

I say add it in, I mean I shall make a new version for you, just give me a colour scheme and a design and I shall build it:)

The app store is going through an update to be changed to Discover (App Store) this will take place in the coming days. Also have a few updates which will accompany

[Dahknee]

A new version is coming out soon that allows you to set custom images, and it will support new file storage I am developing to allow you to have a online directory and you can publish them to the app store etc. So yeah it will hopefully be pretty cool, plus it now supports auto-updating features for each and every app. There will also be a top downloaded page for all the apps that are downloaded the most. So you can see how well you are doing. Anyway if you want to help that would be awesome, head onto my IRC: #shinexusuk (server channel) and we can chat about things you wish to help with . I use git currently but I shall move the code somewhere that is easier to edit for you .

What is the format and size of an image?

Still deciding, currently I am using a self made format, supports characters, background, text colours, and it is 5x5. Is there anything else you would rather me add? I have the parser code for it. Does not support transparency though...

Well I mean, that should work fine really, we can just parse the format and convert it for saving. In Silica the icons will be able to be much larger than that, but I guess it's difficult to provide cross compatibility. We could probably just made a thing that renders them to the individual pixels.

[Exerro]

I'd suggest it's better to make the system support a higher resolution and then convert it down for CC, rather than having low-res blocky images in Silica. Transparency is pretty essential I'd say. I'm assuming you have a smartphone - how many icons are there that don't have any transparent pixels?

[MKlegoman357]

I don't think it's a good idea to make images work with something like Silica. It's a store for CC, not for Dan's secret project and if you wanted to run any programs on that store on something like Silica you'd have to have a compatibility layer anyway. So, just leave the format for CC. And for transparency, since the pixels are not that big you might not fo it, I don't see a reason why one would want to use tranparent pixels. Although having such a feature would not hurt. And for size, maybe make it smaller, CC screens are not that big anyway, and it would be nice if we could fit more programs on it. How about 4*3 (width*height)?

Transparency is a total must, I mean it's really not that hard to do. Does the format support text?

I'd also agree on the 4 x 3 proportion, I found that it's really the only size that works well, it's both square and not too big or small, 5 x 5 is probably too big and won't be a square.

[Exerro]

I think Nova used 5x3, I tend to think odd dimensions work well.
