• Regular review mechanism for apps, to ensure all download links are up-to-date
• Possible .json support for download link storages
• Core code rewrites, including a fetch function to directly parse remote websites
• Of course more and more apps support
• Elegant UI to allow users to request support for new apps; allow user to choose between GitHub Issues, Microsoft Forms or Tencent Wenjuan
• 404 page that says 'things aren't always right' or similar, indicating that the user may not entered a wrong url, it may just be the appname wasn't supported just yet, subsequently request user to file an app request
• Provide the source of asset, for an example official websites/APIs, third party APIs, or others
• A report a problem button to be displayed on pages; also direct the user to the official website to complete the download
• Universal Google Fonts support; support one time download links for fonts like OPPOSans or MiSans, by simply redirecting the user to the official download link, regardless of device type
• Improved method to detect Windows 32 bits, or Win 7/8, WinXP;
• Set target 'types' in possible json layout; whether windowsapp, macapp, crossplatform, mobile app (No Plan to support Linux) or assets
• Set clear policy to disallow copyright infringing software
