Host the addon outside of CurseForge #250
Comments
Its definitely something I plan to do, especially with the new changes to Curseforge. |
curseforge API is now down, any chance you will be hosting elsewhere, or releases on github? |
Its still something that is being worked on. Unfortunately I've little free time to work on addons right now so there is no ETA |
no worries, perhaps this GH action is of interest to you: https://github.com/marketplace/actions/wow-packager |
Thanks. That will come in very handy. |
I created a PR to implement this. Hope it helps! #271 |
Thanks @lyledouglass for the PR. The addon is now set to create packaged releases and is also being hosted on wago.io https://addons.wago.io/addons/betterwardrobe |
As CurseForge is locking out everyone except Overwolf's own addon manager (source: https://www.wowhead.com/news/ads-revenue-and-api-wowup-and-overwolf-split-over-addon-development-325912), please host this addon elsewhere than CurseForge (at least co-host it elsewhere). Options include:
I am personally using WowUp to update addons, and while I very much respect that some addon creators want their work monetized, and believe that they should have the option, I do not support the Overwolf lock-out simply because they want everyone to use their app. If monetization is a priority, I suggest using wago.io as addon hosting, as it allows for monetization of addons, also while using WowUp; which shows they're willing to find solutions, rather than the Overwolf approach of refusing to cooperate.
I don't mind anyone hosting their addons on CurseForge, but please, please, please host it outside of CurseForge as well, for those of us who would like to cut ties with CurseForge, but still use your amazing addon ❤️
