Phoebus 2.0 Lands!20190218.0607
The Second Generation Add-ons Site promised long long ago went live this past Saturday. It not only serves the Pale Moon browser but also the other allied UXP applications.
Instead of fiddling with ini-based manifest files and an ftp client you can now sign up, submit, and update your extensions and themes via a simple to use web interface! It takes only seconds to do about anything.
Of course the Pale Moon Add-ons Site is up, but also checkout the associated Add-ons Sites for Basilisk and Interlink! Additionally, Ambassador's Stand-alone application will get the same treatment in the very near future. As will Borealis Navigator when it hits its first release.
Stay tuned!
