Crowdsourced App Configurations website for Obtainium.
The website is accessible at apps.obtainium.imranr.dev
Obtainium's custom protocol links (obtainium://
) may not be easily clickable (for example, neither GitHub's MarkDown renderer nor popular messaging apps like WhatsApp support them). To work around this, you can use the web-based redirect to get a normal http://
link that opens a webpage which redirects to Obtainium (if installed).
For example:
- Raw Obtainium link:
obtainium://add/https://github.com/florisboard/florisboard
- Clickable redirect version: http://apps.obtainium.imranr.dev/redirect.html?r=obtainium://add/https://github.com/florisboard/florisboard
As of this writing, there are two types of Obtainium links:
/add
: These redirect the user to the "Add App" page with the URL pre-filled in. The user can then modify any app-specific setting before adding it themselves./app
: These links contain an entire app configuration JSON and opening them in Obtainium results in the app being added directly into the user's list, with the app-specific settings included in the link.
To add an app config to this repo, your app configuration JSON must contain at least the id
, url
, author
, name
, and additionalSettings
keys. Note that for any app-specific setting you don't define in additionalSettings
, the default value will be used.
For example:
- Minimal app JSON:
{"id":"dev.patrickgold.florisboard.beta","url":"https://github.com/florisboard/florisboard","author":"florisboard","name":"FlorisBoard Beta","additionalSettings":"{\"includePrereleases\":true}"}
- As URL: http://apps.obtainium.imranr.dev/redirect.html?r=obtainium://app/%7B%22id%22%3A%22dev.patrickgold.florisboard.beta%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fflorisboard%2Fflorisboard%22%2C%22author%22%3A%22florisboard%22%2C%22name%22%3A%22FlorisBoard%20Beta%22%2C%22additionalSettings%22%3A%22%7B%5C%22includePrereleases%5C%22%3Atrue%7D%22%7D
