I am proud to announce that this system has finally been released! After almost 2 years in development, I can finally present something that has taken a lot of work and research to pull off. Not only does this reduce the amount of work that I have to do in order to release program updates, but it provides a better experience for you.
I have also developed a client to go with the system as well. This will allow you to install and launch programs all from a single place. Instead of having to download everything separately, this enables you to keep everything organized. I decided to build this system for 2 reasons:
- Automate and simplify the process of releasing programs and updates
- Provide a better experience for accessing the various programs that have been released
I have not only built a client to access programs but have also made the same information available from this website. You can access the same information the client has access to from this page.
As this project has taken a lot of work and research I’m going to create another post just on my experiences as well as show how this project has included concepts that have been in other past projects as well.
Hey Joel,
I’m glad you finished your project. I’m very proud of your accomplishment. I know your family will also be proud of it. Keep up the good work.
I’m expecting to more great things from you.

Congrats on launching the distribution system! The idea of having a single client to install and launch programs sounds really convenient compared to downloading each tool separately. Automating update releases after two years of development is a huge milestone, and I can see how this will save you a ton of repetitive work while keeping users organized. Looking forward to seeing how the client evolves over time.
Congrats on finally launching the distribution system after two years of work! The idea of bundling a client that lets users install and launch programs from a single place is a huge usability win — it removes so much friction compared to hunting down separate downloads. Curious to hear how you handled the update delta mechanism behind the scenes.
