Let me add to this, and that would be I big on GUI’s for most things but smart enough and not too stubborn to use the terminal when it’s faster and or gives better results. I had pushed back myself against using the terminal at all, but was willing to give those who had been running Linux a lot longer than I the benefit of the doubt and run varios thing using the terminal and in a GUI to see which was better for what. As stated the OP wanted feedback. That would include all feedback as long as it not going after the OP for no legitimate reason, which I did not.
NOW this is pure BULLPUCKY and you know it. We didn’t do any of that and you know it. As @thefrog said “Good luck to you. Sorry you ask for Feedback and then got upset and took it personally when you got it.”
Hmm no Kumbaja
I had not even the time to check the app.
Only had a user on telegram tried to use and asking about adding it to menu.
Some of us are somehow always open to complain right away, that’s not because of being terminal purists, it’s may experience too.. and yea Arch is built around using the terminal, EndeavourOS is not changing this (feels like said that 1001 times already)
But you can use whatever you like. An updater GUI why not?
Personal I still like to use EndeavourOS update notifier per example, others see this useless. I do not mind. But still agree that it is not needed as default.
Personal I do run updates right away all the time, but that’s to may catch issues in time.
That’s a shame. I thought you had presented it well, and I’d noted some folk I know who might find it useful.
I know it can be hard to volunteer your time and skill, to then receive criticism of your generous efforts. Such is the nature of internet communities though. My questions to you above were from a place of seeing this made widely available (such as via the AUR), not about squashing your efforts.
I have a feeling that many of us (including me) that saw the OP title were immediately on guard, especially since most Linux users migrated from Windows where automated updates were a top reason why they left in the first place. Now, after carefully reading your app description, I don’t see anywhere where “automated” and “updater” are mentioned, excepting only BTRFS snapshots (which is a recommended practice).
Perhaps you care to explain better what your app actually does?
the old “I’m taking my ball and going home” thing is such a cliche. this is a friendlier place than you have given it credit for.
Listen, many people here will dig it. I personally will keep doing it old-school but maybe someday I’ll turn to it. If you hadn’t done so already, make accounts and sell it to Cachy, Garuda, or Arch or any of the derivatives. Have confidence.
Many will find value in it. Some won’t. That’s foss, baby.
Yes, keep on keeping on. As I said, I’m not ready for it, but many will be.

Too bad you took the feedback in a negative way, most people on the forums here have good intentions and you will get honest answers with different views from various people if you ask for feedback or an opinion on something.
Not everyone uses btrfs, so there will be situations where someone will be using ext4 or xfs where the option for Timeshift would be useful.
I knew people who hadn’t read the archwiki news with the recent firmware split packages and updated their system and had their system break cause not having done the manual intervention.
