Host the addon outside of CurseForge #53

As CurseForge is locking out everyone except Overwolf's own addon manager (source: https://www.wowhead.com/news/ads-revenue-and-api-wowup-and-overwolf-split-over-addon-development-325912), please host this addon elsewhere than CurseForge (at least co-host it elsewhere). Options include:

I am personally using WowUp to update addons, and while I very much respect that some addon creators want their work monetized, and believe that they should have the option, I do not support the Overwolf lock-out simply because they want everyone to use their app. If monetization is a priority, I suggest using wago.io as addon hosting, as it allows for monetization of addons, also while using WowUp; which shows they're willing to find solutions, rather than the Overwolf approach of refusing to cooperate. I don't mind anyone hosting their addons on CurseForge, but please, please, please host it outside of CurseForge as well, for those of us who would like to cut ties with CurseForge, but still use your amazing addon :heart:

Any update on this? Great addon and would love to see it available to download somewhere other than from Curse.

I see it is on WowInterface, but the last update was in 2019. I am using WowUp which, for some reason, doesn't work with the zip files being used as releases here (last release here was in March 2021, last release on CurseForge was June 2022). Interestingly, Details! Damage Meter (also by Tercioo) DOES work in WowUp! Thumbs up for that :)

I don't think it is, yet, is it? As far as I know, Details! is only available through Curse (other than a very old version on wowinterface)

https://github.com/Tercioo/Details-Damage-Meter.. I thought I had imported it from GitHub last night, but you're right, the one on GitHub is a couple years old and WowUp didn't like that zip file, either.

Since this issue seem have been jacked by details comments, I just want to say that Details is available on Wago :heart: Don't forget to download any plugins you need, as details on wago is standalone instead of the bundle coming from curse. Sadly don't see World Quest Tracker there yet, but I am still hoping!

Yeah I use Details! from Wago now. This addon (World Quest Tracker) doesn't appear to have been updated for a while, and there's probably no need to now, either. Just have to hope that any similar addon created for DF gives us multiple download options.
