Hey folks đź‘‹
A few weeks ago I shared Github Store, a Kotlin Multiplatform “app store” for GitHub releases (Android + Desktop). It just crossed 500+ stars and 8,000+ users, so I’ve shipped the biggest update so far: v1.4.0.
Highlights in 1.4.0:
• Installed apps & updates
â—¦ Apps installed via Github Store are now tracked locally, with a new Apps screen on Android.
â—¦ If a new GitHub release is available, Github Store can highlight that an update is ready.
• Better installs on all platforms
â—¦ AppImage support and improved Linux installer logic (DEB/RPM/AppImage).
â—¦ Desktop downloads now go straight to the system Downloads folder, plus download cancellation support.
• New theming & UX
â—¦ Material You dynamic color on Android and an AMOLED black option for dark mode.
â—¦ Updated to Material 3 Expressive for more modern motion, shapes, and loading indicators.
• Safety tooling for Android
◦ “Open in AppManager” action to inspect an APK’s permissions/trackers before installing.
Built with Kotlin Multiplatform + Compose Multiplatform, Ktor 3, Koin, and a shared feature‑first architecture (auth, home, search, details). If you’re into KMP or ship apps via GitHub releases, feedback would be super appreciated.
