App Versions

A tiny public version manifest polled by Trozovka's shipped desktop apps to check for updates.

simple-pdf-editor and simple-photo-video-resizer are private, closed-source repos, so a shipped .exe can't safely query GitHub's API for their latest release directly (private-repo endpoints need auth, and embedding a token in a distributed binary would let anyone extract and misuse it). This repo exists only to be public, so those apps can fetch versions.json anonymously instead.

Updating a version

Whenever a new version of one of those apps ships:

1. Bump APP_VERSION in that app's app/version.py.
2. Update this file's matching entry (version and, if it changed, url) to match.
3. Commit and push both.

No CI automation wires these together yet — this is a manual step done alongside each release.

Format

{
  "<repo-name>": {
    "version": "<semver as X.Y.Z>",
    "url": "<where a user should go to download the new version>"
  }
}

Contains no source code and no secrets — just a version string and a public download link per app.
