Niruvi Store

A Linux application marketplace that integrates with the Niruvi AppImage manager.

Vision

Niruvi Store provides application discovery, metadata, and download information that integrates with the Niruvi desktop application for installation and management.

Philosophy

• Separate concerns: Niruvi handles installation, verification, and local management; Niruvi Store handles discovery and metadata
• Beginner-friendly: Simple technology stack, no complex backend required for MVP
• Security-first: SHA-256 verification, publisher information, license display
• Cost-effective: GitHub Pages / GitHub Releases for hosting, static JSON catalog
• Incremental: Build gradually, each milestone works before the next

MVP Features

• Static application catalog (JSON)
• Search and filtering by category/architecture/license
• Application detail pages with full metadata
• "Install with Niruvi" protocol links (niruvi://install/...)
• Manual curation of initial applications
• Responsive design

Technology Stack (MVP)

• Frontend: React
• Language: TypeScript
• Build Tool: Vite
• Styling: Tailwind CSS
• Hosting: GitHub Pages (free)
