Owner March 2023 - Present

Through my journey of learning Python, I created a script to automate the installation and updating of Appimage apps, incorporating SHA-{256-512} verification for security. I focused on enhancing the script by introducing features like creating a JSON file to easily add app versions, choices, names, and repository details, making it user-friendly for installation automation. Initially designed for three apps, I also included automatic installation for these apps. The script prompts users with questions like whether to create backups, facilitating JSON file creation. This project has been invaluable as it allowed me to delve into algorithms, such as looping through apps for updates. It’s not just a project but a significant learning experience that has shaped my Python skills, cementing its importance in my journey of growth and proficiency.
