Orion Store

Orion Store is an Android-first store client that leans on public sources instead of hiding everything behind a private service layer. The app pulls catalog data from public JSON, resolves releases from GitHub, GitLab, and Codeberg, and keeps the delivery path understandable enough that users can see where things come from and how updates are discovered.

What makes Orion different ✨

The point of Orion is not to pretend infrastructure does not exist. It is to reduce hidden infrastructure and move as much of the important behavior as possible into public, inspectable layers. Catalog entries are plain data. Release sources stay visible. Automation is handled through workflows and workers that can be reviewed, rather than through a black-box backend that users have to trust on faith.

That design carries through the app. Orion tracks installed packages, surfaces updates, manages download state, supports install flows on Android, and exposes developer-facing diagnostics for people who want to see what the store is actually doing under the hood.

Source support 📡

Orion treats multiple upstream platforms as first-class citizens, which matters because app distribution should not depend on a single forge being the only path worth supporting.

- GitHub is the primary release path and the center of most automation. - GitLab is supported for repository metadata and raw release sourcing. - Codeberg is supported as a real upstream, not a decorative fallback.
