I'd like to bring a bit of light onto a project I've been working on recently, which is the Windower Addon Directory!
One of the things that has always bothered me about Windower addons is actually finding what is out there. There's no real set standard for sharing addons, and trawling through github to find cool things people have created can be a bit of a pain, if I'm honest. I'm hoping that this site will help with that.
The idea is to, gradually, over time, build a centralised source of any publicly available addons on github. As it stands, my crawler (and code) is far from perfect, so I've undoubtedly missed stuff! I've added a submission form for repos the crawler didn't catch, which I will check over manually and add to the directory.
Right now at least, the directory is basically unvetted. I've fixed some obvious crawling errors here and there, but for the most part, it is entirely automated. This means that if you intend to use this, please read the warning I've popped at the top of the site, as I really don't want to be held responsible for you getting banned for downloading and using ShadyAddon69. Over time, once I have a solid list, I intend to go through every addon and at least categorise them, but this will need to be done manually.
I also intend to work out a way of dealing with the many duplicate uploads of addons, and determining which ones are the maintained versions, and which are not. For now, the site is using basic deduplication and taking the most recently updated lua as the "correct" one, but I do realise this will need a better solution in time.
For now, I hope you find a use for my little project I think is kinda neat, and thank you in advance if you decide to use it, or even better, contribute repos!
