Interesting. What are all the repositories this program is pulling from?

Also, you say that a program can be added if it's a "self-sufficient" file. I'm assuming that excludes programs that require multiple files -- but are "installers" acceptable, to get around this?

The repositories are being pulled from my Pastebin. There's one that is a giant list of store items, then the other two interpret other stores and composes a list based on that.

Yes, installers will do very nicely if your program requires multiple files. STD-GUI doesn't support archiving, due to how trivial an installer would make that, and Discover/OnlineAPPS/anything else would be sure to use other types of formats.

In regards to this program and support with Online Apps, all programs outputted by the APIs will be out of date (and potentially non-existent). We're replacing our old way of running with the new system at https://twijnweb.com/oa . This system does not yet have an API publicly available. I do hope that this program will be updated once I do update my API. OnlineApps will allow you to link files to external places where you host your code - might it be pastebin or github - and will add all of these to a list to be downloaded on the client. This means that essentially OnlineApps is an installer that doubles as a distributor. Currently, you can see the format of how we now export the lists for programs here, or you might want to see how to make this readable by Lua here. (If you do look at the list of programs, right click and hit "View source" if on chrome. Your browser will not see the new lines as new lines)

Unfortunately, I don't have it set up yet to give all of the names of programs in the system.

Update:
+Added a color palate table
+Added colorization to item descriptions and names
+Added clickable button for changing the store channel (F3, otherwise)
+Updated screenshots in OP
*Changed colors to be darker and cooler
*Changed a few item descriptions

I decided that the old style of light gray on gray is for nerds, so I went with a much cooler gray on black. I also added some pipe characters to the scrollbar.

Also, the listing for the Discover Store in the STD Default channel was mistakenly credited to Creator, even though it is Dannysmc95, which I knew damn well. I confused the two of them a while ago, and I guess that was the result. Maybe it was they're tones when talking to people. Idunnohh.

Found a Bug: I tried to install my program "Mynaptic" , to test this store, but I only get a "could not connect" error. Other Programs work. Maybe you have the wrong URL. The URL for the installer is https://pastebin.com/raw/UG43PZZ7.

Thanks for putting in my game! :-D

I've got two suggestions for you:
- Coloring for the categories. For example: category games is blue and API is yellow etc.
- Have some sort of image for each program/utility. Strafe has implemented thiss and it makes for easily finding something you like.

Great job, though!

Thanks, m8. About those suggestions,
1. Colored categories is possible, but it doesn't seem very useful to be honest. Might as well, though...
2. I've tried adding some pictures to STD-GUI, but I can't figure out how to use the NFT (or whatever it's called) image standard. I want to be able to have PAIN export to nft, but I couldn't be bothered. Maybe if I modify my formatting code API, then it'd be easier...hm

Another thing, is that creating stylish images for each store entry will be tedious, unless I can get people to send me theirs.

Thanks for the suggestions!

1. Succes doing that!
2. Succes figuring that out. I could just make a "screenshot" of my game for example. (or part of it, since there's not that much room...)

I added a VIEW button for viewing the contents of an app before installing, so that you can check if it's any good/safe. Press V or click 'VIEW' to preview the code.
Also, I finally added an 'isBeta' variable to influence the F12 autoupdate URL.

btw.
If you need help with reading .nft, I can give you my code from textpaint. To make Screenshots, you can use Screentool.

It would also be nice to see how many times it has been downloaded and show the more populair programs at the top.

I think to count the Downloads he must set up a own server and can't use Pastebin.

Yeah, that's right.

That's a lot of stuff! I'll be sure to add it. As for NFT, I'll try to adapt that into both STD-GUI and PAIN, so I can make icons. And maybe I'll even use Screentool to make screenshots for a few applications..! Working at a summercamp gives me little time, though.

Added 'STD Media' channel, which will hold NBS music files, and NFA/NFP picture files. I've already put a few things on it, such as my rendition of the virus busting theme of Megaman Battle Network 2, or Bloody Tears in Castlevania 2.

Also, updated screenshots.
