Complete package info showcasing #40

Open kidonng opened 4 years ago

Scoop's competitive product Chocolatey has a fancy website with an important feature: showing package info. Since Scoop manifests are JSONs which is easy to parse (that's what we are currently doing), we can take a step further to make things clearer.

Indexing has been erroring since https://github.com/kidonng/scoop-docs/runs/486380873 A new index script is being worked on, but I won't have the time to finish it in near future.

EDIT: maybe build a website like brew.sh.

Hey @kidonng, coming back to this relevant thread, could you tell me why SQLite won't be appropriate? It's a tiny sufficient db. I have no idea.

Hi @kidonng,

I wrote a scoop packages search engine a couple of months ago: https://scoopsearch.github.io. I got inspiration from the Chocolatey website to try to "showcase" the packages (icons, certified buckets, repositories stars...)

Four times a day, the backend crawls GitHub for repositories containing keywords "scoop-bucket", parses manifests and updates results in an Azure search service.

Would you be interested in using this Azure search service?

(source for backend and frontend is available on: https://github.com/ScoopSearch)

Hey @gpailler, your awesome search service has now been featured on Scoop Directory!
