WOW! Only now I can see this thread! Your work is really great!
I love Webos, I went back to android because it was slow, ugly and drained too much battery.
I just need a few things (a web browser, youtube running at least at 480p and kindle) and I'm happy with webos
I want to contribute to the collection with my IPKs; unfortunately many are duplicated and badly renamed, I hope you can easily rename them and that among them there are some lost applications that may be of interest to the whole Webos community. Thanks again for all this!

PS: You Have a PM!

State of the Museum Report

I missed grabbing data in January before the logs rolled over. I'll try to update this at the end of February, but just in case I miss again, here's our activity in App Museum II so far this month...

This was a feature Misj' and me were thinking about adding but never got to.

There are a lot of applications created for the Pre, Pre2 or Pre3 that run on the touchpad but only after adding a metadata.json file to the application's directory. This is a hassle, and it would be nice to add this from the App Museum, a place where the needed information can be known. With a push of a button the wanted compatibility could be chosen, maybe even saving working ones to the App Museum and disabling the others.

Just a wish

There are a lot of applications created for the Pre, Pre2 or Pre3 that run on the touchpad but only after adding a metadata.json file to the application's directory.

At some point, a project to crack open the .ipk, pull/push some changes, and put it back together, is going to be necessary. There are 1500+ apps in various archives that are not in the catalog -- but may still be worthwhile apps. Since there's no metadata for these apps, there's no point in putting them in the Museum. But if I could iterate through them, unpack them, pull out metadata and icons from the app itself, and re-format into the Museum metadata, I could probably create basic Museum entries for these apps.
Along the way, it would be quite possible to touch the app's metadata to update its compatibility -- IF I knew the rules by which I could determine if it could be made compatible...

But I think without some more developers on this effort, its probably not going to get done. I'm about at-capacity, and hopefully this whole pandemic thing ends soon, and I can use my free time for things like travel...

It's going to end. But omg it's going to be an insane travel season when it does!
