Changelog

What changed on the site and in the data, month by month. Version numbers for the site and the catalog are coming; until then, every change is in the commit history of the site and the data pipeline.

October 2026

On the site

  • A docs section: about, status, roadmap, FAQ, guides (formats, rankings, glossary), how the data is built, open data and legal pages, with one Docs entry in the header.
  • App pages show one edition and version at a time (Firefox ESR, Beta, Nightly...), each with its own address, install options and release facts.
  • Add-ons and related apps (forks, successors, suite components) listed on each app's page.
  • Install options show who built each package: official, distribution or community build.
  • Vendor repositories (Chrome, VS Code, Brave...) as an install option.
  • Faster browsing by source, and faster search.

In the data

  • Product families: builds, editions and versions of the same app folded into one card — Firefox went from 61 search results to one.
  • 10,842 add-ons (extensions, themes, language packs) attached to their app instead of listed as apps.
  • Relations between apps, each backed by what the packages declare or a reviewed rule.
  • New source: first-party vendor apt repositories.
  • Language models can now flag libraries and non-apps, which are left out when the verdict is confident.
  • A full-text search index built with every publication.

September 2026

On the site

  • Live on tuxery.store, served from Cloudflare's edge.
  • The new Tuxery logo.
  • Homepage, category and store lists precomputed, so pages load faster.

In the data

  • AppStream metadata from Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE and Arch: icons, screenshots, categories and developers for thousands more apps.
  • The full Snap Store category sweep: about 10,900 snaps, three times more than before.
  • Lutris games get their genres and real descriptions; Debian's own game tags are used.
  • Tens of thousands of apps classified by rules on names, descriptions and distribution sections, then by language models, each verdict with a confidence.

August 2026

On the site

  • First version: homepage, app pages with every install option, search and browse with filters, apps, games and category pages.
  • Settings: your operating system, preferred formats and theme, kept in your browser.
  • Store pages for Flathub, the Snap Store, GOG and Lutris.
  • Verified publishers, combined ratings, download trends and new games.

In the data

  • Some twenty-five sources: Flathub, the Snap Store, AppImage, the AUR, Arch, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE, Nixpkgs, Alpine, Void, Slackware, Solus, Gentoo, elementary AppCenter, Mint, Pop!_OS, Deepin, MX Linux, RPM Fusion, GOG, Lutris and GitHub releases.
  • Libraries, fonts, documentation and other non-apps filtered out; the same app matched across sources.
  • Ratings combined from GNOME's review service and GOG; popularity from the AUR and Flathub.
  • Apps and games told apart, graphical apps from command-line tools.
