  • Obtainium. Such an awesome peace of software for tracking app updates. Many sources available. Search through them. Notifications about updates. Just. Too. Good. ❤️

    • Can you get Obtainium to scan a simple HTML page full of links to APKs and extract the latest versions of each APK in the page? It seems to work fine on Git repos, but I can't get it to watch simple pages listing APKs.

      • From GitHub description. "Any other URL that returns an HTML page with links to APK files (if multiple, the last file alphabetically is picked)". I assume yes.

        • Yeah but my issue is that it doesn't work :) I point it to a simple HTML page listing only links to APK files in it (namely, the Aurora Store nightlies) and the only thing is does is show a black bar for a couple of seconds and nothing happens.

          • Flaw. I think you should create a bug on GitHub.

            • I probably should, but the truth is, the app doesn't interest me enough to bother. I wanted to use it to automatically track Aurora Store nightly builds for when the stable version gets broken by Google, as Google regularly does. But when it happens, all I have to do is open a link bookmarked in my browser.

              I figured I'd ask here to figure out if I missed some configuration or something. If it's a bug, I'll just uninstall the thing and forget about it.
