Linstall? #105

Closed ehawman-rosenberg closed 2 years ago

I've been searching for a Winstall counterpart for Linux and have come up short.

So far the only thing I've found that remotely does the same thing is browsing a distro's packages and collecting up package names. That lacks the cloud functionality and easy editing/sorting that Winstall offers.

Could the fundamentals of Winstall be copied for Linux?

winstall is basically just a scraper with a nice UI, so anyone can go and make a service that scrapes the Linux distro packages and render it in a nice looking UI w/ all the sorting features. Unfortunately I do not have the bandwidth to work on a new project like this, but feel free to look into it
