Hi, there are discussions about less intrusive update messages, but I´m asking if it would be possible to handle it (optional) like discord or signal. [grafik] I really like Joplin, use it on multiple devices not every day. So I get many, many....many Update messages. I could disable updates at …

Of course that would be better, but who's going to implement all that? In fact, come to think of it, perhaps that could make a good GSoC project as it's quite a bit of work to get all this in place.

I am curious about that. When you put Joplin in the Mac AppStore, would it give you benefits in den update process? Same for the Windows Appstore. Is it too cumbersome, expensive or why are many developers not use them?

It's expensive and cubersome. The project you are comparing Joplin to is a commercial application and they have several teams to take care of the required infrastructure and software changes, as well as publishing to the various app stores. We don't have teams here so that's why it hasn't been done. …

So we need a shout out for developers to commit and help with this! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: [grafik]

The Windows store policies have been updated recently to allow publishing nearly any application and without having to use the .msix/appx packaging that was demanded historically. That's how you have a load of new applications being published there since the Windows 11 release. Joplin could likely n…

hihihi...my picture worked! :wink:

By the looks of it, making msix packages of Joplin would be fairly easy. Electron Builder already supports appx, and appx -> msix is a trivial repackage, in the future Electron Builder might end up just supporting msix directly too. The more difficult part is managing the uploads and the relationsh…

Yeah, I understand. Maybe the benefit of "never think again about updates" would get more people to use the MS Store version. I would do it, how will the mass do? Maybe a poll in the forum could give some infos. But I understand that you have many other construction sites at the moment.

Just a note about polls here: Even though there are thousands of people using Joplin, here on discourse you have like a hundred people actively keeping up with the forum. Moreover, the forum folk is very different from average user (might I say non representative?). So, running a largescale poll c…

Thats a good point. The question is how to reach the users and get a clear picture? Any ideas?
