I did, in fact, make a short PoC/Demo of "drop apps into ~/Applications and they get integrated"

it's messy and doesn't account for edge-cases, it doesn't have an internal state to clean up behind itself either, but it gets the idea across

also yes it's pure fish

@alexia was gonna say "This sounds like ROX's AppDir" and then saw the AppRun

thank you for actually not bastardizing AppDir like appimage did 😭

I was almost convinced I was the only person left who remembered the AppDir spec from ROX Filer.

@illyBytes I don't actually impose any structure! the unpacked app just needs to have a .desktop file for metadata and that's it, "AppRun" is just recommended so it's easier for me to match+replace the Exec= line
