An update on the future of the Brandsonic Apps website

-

 This is a follow-up to this post I made recently on the future of the Brandsonic Apps website. I found out today that Webs has extended the shutdown date from March 31st to June 30th. This means that the Brandsonic Web portal and the Brandsonic Apps site on Webs will stay up longer than I originally expected. That being said, I will still not be updating the Brandsonic Apps site on Webs. The Google Sites site has been up for over a month now and it serves as the current Brandsonic Apps site. As I stated in the last post, I intended for the Google Sites site to be temporary. I have been working on a new site on and off since 2017. I plan to host this site on Github Pages when it is complete. The portal page is being hosted there now. I'm also planning a complete overhaul of the Brandsonic Web Portal. I made it back when my web development skills weren't as good as they are now. It will be more streamlined, with a focus on search, while still retaining most of the content it has now. There is no ETA on the portal or the new site, but I hope to have them up within the next few months.

Small update for Brandsonic Web mobile for iOS and Brandsonic Web for Mac

-
I am releasing small updates for both Brandsonic Web mobile for iOS and Brandsonic Web for Mac. I have updated the URL for the default homepage to it's new location . This is in preparation for the Webs shutdown that will be happening very soon. There are no new features in this release. I will also be releasing a version of Brandsonic Web for Mac that already has the Big Sur icon. The icon is the only difference, the application is unchanged. I hope to have fixed the install issues that affected certain jailbreaks with Brandsonic Web mobile for iOS with this release as well. Brandsonic Web mobile for iOS 0.10.1 has been submitted to Packix and should be available soon. Brandsonic Web for iOS 0.10.1 will be available soon on the Google Sites site.

Brandsonic Web mobile, Packix and Havoc

-
I found out on Tuesday that Packix, the repo I've been hosting Brandsonic Web mobile on since ModMyi/ModMy shut down in 2017, is shutting down too. A new repo called Havoc is its successor. I intended to move Brandsonic Web mobile there. I transferred it from Packix to Havoc. I followed all of their guidelines and submitted Brandsonic Web mobile for review and approval. This morning I woke up to an email saying that it was rejected because they are "not interested" in hosting it. I am extremely disappointed and I honestly was not expecting them to reject it. I was ready to announce that Brandsonic Web mobile had been moved to Havoc. This leaves me in an awkward position. As of now, I have nowhere to host Brandsonic Web mobile. Brandsonic Web mobile will still be downloadable from Packix indefinitely but I have nowhere to submit future versions. I will host it on my own if that's what I have to do but I chose repos like Packix so I wouldn't have to go through the h
