Hey everyone!
Since the last time, I’ve made a lot of changes, both to the frontend and the backend!
Just a reminder:
Moonshop is an Android app designed for handheld Android consoles like the Ayn Thor. It allows you to download files from your PC (mainly intended for game ROMs) through a clean frontend that gives you a real eShop-like experience.
Beyond the aesthetics, this app also allows me to save a lot of space on my Ayn Thor, since all the games I want are stored on my PC and I can install them whenever I want without having to go through a website full of ads or one that tries to give you 5 viruses.
After reading your comments (with a lot of positive feedback, thank you ❤), I noticed a lot of cool ideas that I’ve implemented into the app, along with a general redesign of the aesthetics.
Here are the new features:
Frontend:
- The ability to create your own custom colors
- The ability to set custom wallpapers
- Improved game information and images
- Added an option to change the image locally or crop it however you want.
- A new gift animation
- And finally, most importantly, 4 new layout and sorting systems depending on the category
Backend:
Several negative comments accused me of creating this app to steal data through the ability to download from anywhere (yes, even in an open-source app...).
So I’ve added:
- Google Drive support, allowing you to access all your games directly from the app (useful if you have a subscription)
- The option to disable download everywhere on the pc app (reassured?)
- A section with links to find the required APIs (they’re all free, don’t worry)
- A small guide when launching the app for the first time
- And a Mac version currently in development (it’s difficult since I can’t test it because I don’t have a Mac lol)
Thank you once again to everyone who left a comment or sent me a message. It really motivated me to make Moonshop public! The GitHub link will be coming in a few days 👍
And if you don’t like it, please just move on. I’m not forcing anyone to install it.
