A local HTML page that helps you track the version numbers of [Switch] homebrew applications


Start here!

  • Guide and Documentation here

  • Demo Version here - Try it! (Since it's a demo, it's heavily limited, but it's good to have)

Features

  • Lists the latest version number of the supported homebrews
  • Loads the currently installed version number from a JSON file hosted on Github, like this
  • Compares the installed and the latest version numbers, with the possibility to only list the outdated apps that have an update available
  • Updates the installed version numbers modifying the JSON directly from the app
  • Hide/Show the homebrews you prefer
  • Lists some important files needed by the apps to work properly
  • Accessible everywhere: .nro version for the switch, standalone .html version for every browser
  • Customizable: you can modify the html to include other apps/assets/links
  • Does NOT install the updates itself, nor it downloads them

Credits

I would like to thank these people who gave me the possibility to bring this project to you:

  • switchbrew for libnx
  • BernardoGiordano for nx-spa, the project I partially used as a reference for mine. I used his approach to open a web server with Mongoose and I used some of his files for some parts of the process
  • F-l-a (me) for the html and javascript (and some c++) parts. I learned a lot doing this (and spending half the time on some stupid things because I couldn't get it to work. But that's what the game is about, right?)
