An unofficial Graphical User Interface for Scoop

Main Devs:

• Thomas Kerby (TXOG)
• Faraz Ahary (t3dium)

Also previously known as scoop-gui, and Vanilla.py which was re-designed to Fluorite Store

• Managing installed scoop apps
• Managing installed buckets
• Searching and installing apps
• List of recommended apps and install buttons
• Faster downloads (optionally) using aria2 multithreaded download manager [experimental]
• uses scoop-search instead of the default, as its a lot faster
• Modern design and animations
• Virustotal checking apps - Work in progress

• App descriptions
• Clicking on description box opens the app's homepage in a browser
• Notifications for status

• GUI virustotal instructions if no api key set using the method below
• When uninstalling an app check if already running, if so either kill it automatically, or warn the user
• When searching, place indicator beside apps which are already installed

Next to each install button there's a virustotal check button to scan apps for malware, if theres any detections found it'll open the virustotal url in a browser.

This does require creating a free virustotal account prior however, in order to get an api key.

Also note that virustotal limits to 4 checks per minute for free users.

• Chocolately integration
• Scheduled, auto updates - (might not be possible to do via python)
• Possibly re-writing the search function to instead scrape https://scoop.sh/#/apps?s=0&d=1&o=true as it also contains unofficial repositories (more apps), would be a bit more complex to implement, however it'd include more apps. (if implemented, place warning beside apps that it comes from an unofficial repo)

Searching for apps	Virustotal	Notif

Opens browser with virustotal link if detections found

Also the app shown above is just for the purposes of this example, obviously sharex isn't malware, however one of virustotal's sources has the false positive.

If an app comes up with several detections, then you should look into it.

A lightweight and minimalistic browser with a nice fluorite colour scheme
