Tinson

A great JSON file manager for tinfoil. Install every NSP directly on Switch without using cables.

Why should I use this?

Well, I don't know why you have to use it. I've developed this because my cat jump on my keyboard every time I'm using my mac.

So is pretty hard to connect my Switch through USB or leave my Mac opened all the time. From download to installation. I've thought on a solution that let's you set directly from anywhere in a second a list of downloads link. After that you can manage your queue directly from Tinfoil.

So, here it comes: Welcome Tinson!

Getting started

Tinson is based on PHP and JS. So for working you must have a web server which can process PHP.

Prerequisites

A web server compatible with PHP
FTP or SSH
Nothing else

There's a lot of free hosting reseller online so this won't be hard to achieve.

Installing

Clone this repository on your PC (or directly on your webserver if you have SSH access).
Upload this cloned folder on your website through FTP (you can use filezilla or anything you want).
Optional change the folder name for something you like.
You're ready to create and manage your NSP list.

If your website is: example.com open Tinson looking for example.com/tinson-master. If you have changed the folder name change the path based on new folder name.

How to use

Website Step

At the moment Tinson works only for Google Drive's links.

What you need for uploading correctly a link is:

Google Drive download ID
Target NSP name

Switch Step

Add to locations.conf or to file browser on Tinfoil the url to your nearly created json.

The path is http://example.com/folder-name/switch.json

This step is required only first time, after this Tinfoil will load the locations.conf refreshing all the contents on them.
