NXUpdateTracker​

A local HTML page that helps you track the version numbers of [Switch] homebrew applications​

• Github repository link here
• Guide and Documentation here
• Demo Version here - Try it! (Since it's a demo, it's heavily limited, but it's good to have)

Features​

- Lists the latest version number of the supported homebrews
- Loads the currently installed version number from a JSON file hosted on Github, like this
- Compares the installed and the latest version numbers, with the possibility to only list the outdated apps that have an update available
- Updates the installed version numbers modifying the JSON directly from the app
- Hide/Show the homebrews you prefer
- Lists some important files needed by the apps to work properly
- Accessible everywhere: .nro version for the switch, standalone .html version for every browser
- Customizable: you can modify the html to include other apps/assets/links
- Does NOT install the updates itself, nor it downloads them

Credits​

I would like to thank these people who gave me the possibility to bring this project to you:

• switchbrew for libnx
• BernardoGiordano for nx-spa, the project I partially used as a reference for mine. I used his approach to open a web server with Mongoose and I used some of his files for some parts of the process
• F-l-a (me) for the html and javascript (and some c++) parts. I learned a lot doing this (and spending half the time on some stupid things because I couldn't get it to work. But that's what the game is about, right?)

Just ran into this, I just wanted to say this is genius. I've just been using github to keep track of new stuff but this will help A TON. Thanks!
