Summary

At about 1:25pm on April 3, 2025, an outage due to a bug in a Drupal module upgrade affected multiple components of the PortableApps.com infrastructure. This affected visiting our website and downloading/updating apps via the PortableApps.com Platform. The website and app downloads/updates were brought back online at 10:35pm on April 4th with outgoing email notifications, RSS feeds, and connectivity for XP/Vista being fixed over the coming days.

A Module Upgrade Goes Wrong: April 3 @ 1:25pm

Hi All,

I wanted to get some feedback from the community on approaching apps as they drop compatibility with Windows 7/8. My typical approach is to create a legacy package of the last supported version, automatically (when practical) create a legacy copy alongside as the user upgrades to the incompatible version of Win 7, and make the legacy package available in the PA.c App Store and from the app's homepage.

hi dear community,
how are the experiences with using portable libreoffice on flash drive like usb pen?
are the standard sandisc usb 3.0 or up enough for some spreadshit use?
or need to look for a small simply spreadshit?
would possibly like also to open some impress presentation.
hope its possible.
happy to hear your experience!
thx!

hi all,
i'm quite of yesterday as of qbittorrent.
can someone say how to use it, safe way?
is this like you need black and whitelist and watch out...
short advice and say good free introduction manual would be great friends community including the mods.
i hope for good right advice.

hi,
for me and possibly for here.
i heard you can auto check websites for changes/updates.
no idea if same as on status checker.
maybe you know or use such win tool.
have no further info, please share your info.
thx
ps.
i let update few of your apps on seriouse huge tec site to save traffic and increase popularity.

to prevent forgeting, extreme long unpatched time and unneeded official pointing out sec issues,
a simply added contact form could be also a possibility to direct convert to a task or appointment to schedule it.
it would be a huge improvement in all areas, like said.

Update: Full incident report: https://portableapps.com/node/78778

We're back online as of 10:35pm today (April 4). Website and Platform usage should be fully functional. The site went offline at 1:25pm yesterday (April 3) and I updated via all our social media platforms while the site was down. I'll put together a summary of what happened sometime this weekend. Thanks for your patience and support.

like trying to enhence and go modern, have it in one and reduce needed updated calendar, task and kanban apps, i had the idea to look for a combined calendar-kanban app.
best open source and widely used, maybe even with huge community, but not neccesairly.
the option show task in calendar is also nice idea.
one can get the most of it if you can use kanban and have on the other hand appointments in view.
i'm not sure if one got the obviouse idea.
it would be the solution, as we have here maybe 20apps for it, but no breakthrough, a longtail.

icons disapeared in forum.
search icon mostly annoying, but seem back on some pages.
just info.
any idea what happened?
