Beta Testing

Any news on the PortableApps.com Platform 2.0 version?

I am really interested in the upcoming update feature.
Also I would like to know that with the addition of the update feature is it possible also to install new applications from the platform, something like a linux package manger...that would be cool.

Application: Pingus

Application: Bos Wars

Description:

Bos Wars is a futuristic real time strategy game (RTS). In a RTS game, the player has to combat his enemies while developing his war economy. Everything runs in real-time, as opposed to turn-based games where the player always has to wait for his turn. The trick is to balance the effort put into building his economy and building an army to defend and attack the enemies.

I'd like to suggest an addition to the Development Test - Forum Posting Layout.
One of the bigger delays to the release of apps is the lack of feedback from users. As someone recently posted, buggy apps get far more feedback than stable ones, so the stable ones will languish while waiting for user input.

I think simply putting a statement right below the download link might encourage users to provide both POSITIVE feedback and BUG REPORTS.
Something like:
