Investigate the potential of a web appstore for HaikuDepot-Desktop and
HaikuDepot-Web.
Ubuntu has both a desktop frontend and a web frontend that communicate to
a web backend. When a user clicks the download button on the website, the
button is linked to an unofficial apt:// uniform resource identifier that
has been set to be opened on Ubuntu with the Ubuntu Software Center. The
name of the requested package is extracted from the uniform resource name
and user can then then install the software via the Ubuntu Software Center
with only a confirmation of their request.
Example: https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/banshee/
This could be modified to use the HaikuDepot api and could communicate
with depot.haiku-os.org website to pull icons, screenshots, rating and etc
into this web frontend.
The the web app is written in python (django?) and is under the GNU Affero
GPL v3 licence and the code can be found here: https://launchpad.net
/ubuntu-webcatalog
An alternative is the FirefoxOS Marketplace, which is written is
javascript, is under the MPL and its Code can be found here:
https://github.com/mozilla/fireplace
The website is here: https://marketplace.firefox.com
Example app: https://marketplace.firefox.com/app/facebook-1
