GitHub Store is an open-source, cross-platform app (Android + Desktop) that turns GitHub releases into a real app-store experience. Instead of digging through release pages, GitHub Store: Shows only repositories with real installable binaries (APK, EXE, DMG, AppImage, DEB, RPM) Automatically detects your platform and surfaces the correct installer Always installs from the latest published release Displays changelogs, README, stats, and developer info in a clean UI Why this matters No centralized app store control No ads, no tracking, no telemetry Fully transparent: installs come directly from developers’ GitHub releases Great for discovering privacy-respecting and open-source alternatives Features at a glance Trending / Recently Updated / New projects Platform-aware app discovery Update tracking (Android) Material 3 design (Android + Desktop) Optional GitHub login only for higher API limits Fully open source (Apache-2.0) Download GitHub (releases): https://github.com/rainxchzed/Github-Store F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/packages/zed.rainxch.githubstore/ If you’re trying to escape closed ecosystems and want more control over where your apps come from, this is a project worth checking out
So like a kind of GUR? Not a terrible idea. Why tie it to GitHub, though, when there are loads of similar sites which aren’t proprietary Microsoft-owned extinguishware?
This is such a bad idea and it is going to cause the same problems as npm caused.
JUST MAKE A FUCKING
.EXE FILERELEASE AND GIVE IT TO ME.So obtainium but tied exclusively to Microsoft?
Hmm an uncurated store that will search binaries uploaded by unverified, free GitHub accounts… Yolo
