Regular https directory backend

[sigaloid]

Would it be possible to have a regular https directory backend with a json file describing the release? I think this would be more service-agnostic.

Yeah that would be possible. Would you mind describing a bit more how you would expect that to work?

Similar to NetSparkle's appcast, a JSON/RON file could contain the new releases, and that file's directory could contain the install files. For example:

example.net/update/manifest.json -> file containing new versions, different architectures, etc
example.net/update/app-1.0.0-win64.exe
example.net/update/app-1.0.0-linux
example.net/update/app-1.0.1-win64.exe
...etc

And each file is described in the manifest.json, which is updated as another release is made.
