Orion Store v1.0.0 - Initial Release
Release Description: OrionStore v1.0.0
We are pleased to announce the official launch of OrionStore v1.0.0.
OrionStore is a serverless, open-source application marketplace designed to operate entirely through GitHub infrastructure. By eliminating the need for a dedicated backend server, OrionStore provides a resilient, transparent, and maintenance-free platform for distributing verified Android applications and PC software.
This release acts as both a Progressive Web App (PWA) and a native Android application compiled via Capacitor.
🌟 Key Features
• Serverless Architecture: The application utilizes a "Repo-as-a-Backend" approach, fetching configuration, metadata, and updates directly from GitHub JSON files and Releases APIs.
• Automated Mirroring System: Includes a built-in scraper powered by Puppeteer and GitHub Actions that automatically locates, verifies, and mirrors updates for popular applications to ensure link longevity.
• Material You 3 Design: A modern, responsive user interface that supports adaptive theming, including Light, Dusk, and Dark modes.
• Native Android Support: Built using Capacitor, allowing the React-based web application to run with native performance on Android devices.
• Smart Caching: Implements robust local storage caching strategies to minimize API usage and ensure offline functionality.
• Developer Mode: Features a hidden debug menu allowing contributors to manage API keys, toggle data sources, and bypass rate limits for development purposes.
