# Distribution platforms
|
|
|
|
The software I distribute is available on many platforms. However, distributing it solely on my website does not help their visibility, nor their ease of installation. As such, like many other, I publish my software on certain distribution platforms.
|
|
|
|
## List of platforms on which I published at least one software:
|
|
- <img src="/icons/distribution/firefox.svg" alt="Firefox icon" class="icon-larger-text"/>**Firefox Addons** located on [addons.mozilla.org](https://addons.mozilla.org) under [my profile](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/user/12994006/).
|
|
- <img src="/icons/distribution/snapcraft.svg" alt="Snapcraft icon" class="icon-larger-text"/>**Snapcraft** located on [snapcraft.io](https://snapcraft.io).
|
|
- <img src="/icons/distribution/flathub.svg" alt="flathub icon" class="icon-larger-text"/>**Flathub** located on [flathub.org](https://flathub.org).

# Badges
|
|
The majority of these distribution platforms provide a **badge** to indicate that their is available on the publisher's store.
|
|
Unfortunately, the majority of these badges are only available in English, or are out of date with their current design.
|
|
For that reason, I've created (or recreated in some cases) the badges for each store I produce to fit both their design guidelines and Omegamma's design.
|
|
|
|
To include these badges on your own website, you should include the `badge` stylesheet using this HTML Link:
|
|
`<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://ad5001.eu/css/badge.css">`
|
|
and then include whatever badge you need.
|
|
|
|
**Note**: The logos on these badges are copyrighted by their owners, and appropriate copyright is given with them.

## Want to add a badge or translate them in your language?
|
|
|
|
### Translating a badge:
|
|
1. Check if the official badge sources don't have a translation already, if so, it's text will be used as reference.
|
|
2. Download the existing English `-text.svg` badge.
|
|
3. Translate the text. You can use software like [Inkscape](https://inkscape.org) to edit the SVG directly.
|
|
4. [Fork Omegamma](https://git.ad5001.eu/Ad5001/Omegamma).
|
|
5. Create, if it does not exist already, a directory with your language code.
|
|
6. If the directory did not exist before, make sure to copy the `export.sh` script from one of the other directories.
|
|
7. Put the badge under `<store name>-text.svg`.
|
|
8. (Optional, only if all store badges are translated) Register the language in the `badgeTable.html` shortcode.
|
|
9. Create a pull request for merging and adding your badge to Omegamma.
|
|
|
|
### Creating a new badge:
|
|
1. Check if an official badge source for that store doesn't exist and their potential associated trademarks.
|
|
2. If so, download the SVG version of the badge. Otherwise create a new SVG. You can use software like [Inkscape](https://inkscape.org) to edit the SVG directly.
|
|
3. The SVG item must have a solid background, with no border, or rounded corners. If the official source has some, remove them.
|
|
4. [Fork Omegamma](https://git.ad5001.eu/Ad5001/Omegamma).
|
|
5. For every language your new badge supports, put the icon under `<language>/<store name>-text.svg`.
|
|
6. If your icon is subject to trademark, make sure you have the right to use it for that context, and add the trademark text to the repository's `README.md`.
|
|
7. (Optional, only if store badge is available in all languages) Register the icon in the `distribution-platforms.*.md` content file on [ad5001.eu's source code](https://git.ad5001.eu/Ad5001/ad5001.eu).
|
|
8. Create a pull request for merging and adding your badge to Omegamma.
