Website + App = Amazing!

The new website, to be known as UTCOM (Ubuntu Tweak .com) aims to provide a user-orientated database of applications that can be installed via the desktop version of Ubuntu-Tweak or via the information provided on the application page in the database itself: -

Users can create accounts, rate applications, add sources for them and even €œbump€ them after a new release has been made.

This €œsign in€ feature will be present inside the next major release of Ubuntu Tweak, as seen in the mock-up for version 0.6!

All applications available on UTCOM can be installed via Ubuntu Tweak and plans for the future aim to include scripts, tweaks and more all of which to be installable via the desktop app.

New Release

Ubuntu Tweak 0.5.0 which sports a slightly-rejigged interface and several new features €“ not least of which being the integration of UTCOM application database.

You’ll also find some new tweaks, some great new options for managing your session and a few other odds and ends.

    this new website reminds me of getdeb.net and playdeb.net. I love how installing apps in ubuntu keeps getting easier!

    i would like to see more integration between Canonical and Ubuntu Tweak in the future, like making the accounts part of Launchpad, and software download from Software Center, Ubuntu Tweak can just add repositories, and make the usual tweak. and maybe one day Ubuntu Tweak will be available by default.
