20.000+ apps installed and counting!

September 2nd, 2009

At the beginning of this week, allmyapps.com past the 20.000 application installations mark, which means that allmyapps helped you install more than 10.000 apps only in August! This is just great and we felt like blogging about it to thank you all!

First of all, thanks to everyone of you who sent us feedbacks, reviews and screenshots since the beginning! We normally send an email to thank all of you who contribute but lately there were so many that we got a bit overwhelmed… but we are catching up slowly :) Thank you for your contributions as they really fuels our motivation and please be sure that we are carefuly considering every single idea you sent us. We will try as much as possible to have them included in allmyapps future releases!

A big thank also to Kevin Thompson from ElementOS, a Media OS for Home Theater or media center PC, who also used to run tuxsoftware.com. Indeed, ElementOS will propose allmyapps.com integrated as a their main application installation tool. Kevin also got in touch with us and gave us excellent ideas and feedbacks for the future and, thanks to him, you’ll likely see a webapps section appear on allmyapps soon!

Thanks also to Umarks, a firefox add-on to create, delete, backup and restore lists of installed/deinstalled Ubuntu packages, for integrating allmyapps in their search feature so that users can see package description directly on allmyapps.

We’re really happy to see projects using allmyapps so if you want to integrate with allmyapps, feel free to do it and get in touch with us to see if we can help!

Finally, just a few words about a feature that we forgot to talk about in our last blog post: if you want to point somebody to a package description page no matter what his Ubuntu version, you can point him to http://allmyapps.com/package/ (example: http://allmyapps.com/package/amarok). Allmyapps will detect his Ubuntu version and redirect him to the right package description page.

Talk to you soon for a new release and meanwhile we are looking forward to hearing from you!

Build a list of your favorite apps and install them in 1 click with allmyapps!

July 16th, 2009

Now that we are comfortably installed in our new offices, we can concentrate on rolling out new features for allmyapps! The planning is tight but the motivation is strong so expect new features to flow in regularly :)

And it begins today with a brand new allmyapps release! As you probably already saw, the most visible change is the new graphical chart, much more thought out than the previous one, with optimized space occupation and enchanced navigation system and of course a lot more eye-candy! Thanks again to Léo, our talented graphical designer for his great work!

We also added great new features like the ability for you to build your own list of favorite applications and install them with a single click. So now you can save your applications online (by these times, I should probably say “in the cloud” if I wanna sound trendy :) ) and install them in a snap each time you want to!

Find out more of this new release here and stay tuned as new cool features will arrive very soon!

New applications and packages shipped with Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope

May 2nd, 2009

When Ubuntu 9.04 went out last week, we were curious about the differences between the ubuntu 9.04 repository and the ubuntu 8.10 repository. We thought you could be interested too so we setup a page that lists the new applications that got included in the ubuntu 9.04 repository. It only lists the desktop applications and must be considered as “approximative” but it is still interesting to see! Check out what the 128 new applications are here.

allmyapps now supports Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope)

March 27th, 2009

jackalope It’s been now a lit bit more than 2 months that we’ve launched allmyapps.com and so far we’re really happy with the feedbacks we get! It seems that more and more people like the allmyapps concept judging by our constantly growing number of visitors (although we did not make a lot of buzz around allmyapps so far…). This is really encouraging for the future and we hope we’ll be able to sustain our current development trend to keep on bringing innovation for the Linux Desktop!

This week we released a new version of allmyapps. What’s new in it? Well, the main new feature is probably the added support for the upcoming Ubuntu 9.04 (aka Jaunty Jackalope). Besides that, we also added the possibility for users to propose their own screenshots for the applications. Screenshots are very important for users in their process of choosing an application so the more screenshot we can propose the more useful it is for users. So do not hesitate to contribute by adding your own screenshots!

In the next release, you will hopefully benefit from more popular third party applications and also get to know more about software Packs and desktop personalization… stay tuned and, as always, your feedbacks are warmly welcome!

allmyapps now with reviews and screenshots!

February 24th, 2009

vlc allmyapps screenshot support

Last week, we updated allmyapps with some cool awaited features! In the past month, one of the most requested features was the ability to see screenshots from the applications. Screenshot support has now been added and, better, you will very soon be able to contribute your screenshots for each app!

We also added support for application reviews. From now on you can review and rate the applications you like / dislike. Your opinion will help other users evaluate the applications before actually installing them. To make the process easy, we do not require you to signup or anything like this before posting a review… just write it, post it and it appears immediatly!

Finally, it is now possible to browse applications for the different operating systems supported by allmyapps. Just click on allmyapps in the breadcrumb and you get to choose between the various operating systems supported. You will probably also notice that the URLs are cleaner now. For example, the digikam application page is now accessible through a neat url like : http://www.allmyapps.com/app/digikam

Now what can you expect from allmyapps in the coming weeks? Many things: extended repositories support, the ability to contribute screenshots and support for “application packs”… But while we’re cooking all these new features, we really hope you will enjoy the version we just released! As usual, please do not hesitate to use the feedback form to tell us what you think, be it good or bad!

allmyapps just got updated

January 21st, 2009

If you came on allmyapps today, you probably noticed that we’ve updated the website a little. No big new features (screenshots will arrive in the next release) but little improvements :

  • Improved category menu for easier navigation. Now you can open and close categories and see their sub menus without actually going the category page, clicking on the plus sign will toggle the category sub menu.
  • More eye candy. Icons have been added next to the application in the “most installed apps” and “last updated apps” columns. Also, you probably noticed that a nice little favicon has been added :)
  • Improved number of installations relevancy. At first, we were relying on figures taken from ubuntu popularity contest service. Unfortunately, these figures were not extremely relevant for users as “Python” was the most installed app (which is probably true technically speaking). So we’ve reset all the installation numbers and, from now on, rely only on allmyapps installation statistics.
  • Fix the search filter bug. You can now finally restrict your searches by environment (KDE,Qt,Gnome,GTK) by using the “filter by environment” filter.

As usual, do not hesitate to use our feedback form to report issues or remarks you may have about allmyapps… it helps us a lot! Stay tuned for the next release, screenshots are on their way!
