CurseForge, WoWUp, and Where Else to Update Addons

WoW Classic WoW Classic General Discussion

Since the news of CurseForge broke a good while back (about a year ago?) that OverWolf took over and they were going to use a different API that (some) addon devs wanted I heard about WoWUp and it is a very good addon updater. Now CurseForge will no longer allow WoWUp to carry their addon updates. You have to go through with a CF/OverWolf key.
Does anyone have any suggestions of other websites to go to for easy downloads of updates to keep our addons current?

I just use both.

You don’t just manually install your addons?

Might want to get used to doing this, OP.
Is not that difficult and you don’t have to trust a third party if that bothers you.

I use the new curseforge app, still works fine, just one button to auto update all my addons.

WoWUp is, in my experience, complete and total trash.

It’s not the manual installation that I object to. It’s the ridiculous amount of time needed to check daily to see if there are even any updates available. That is way more time consuming than the actual update. If you’re still doing it that way, you’re guaranteed to always be out of date. WoW has enough grindiness to it…my addons shouldn’t.

I never heard anything. What’s the big deal?

I wonder how much time I wasted manually updating addons over the last 16 years.

RIP WowUp, easiest time I’ve ever had with addons in wow. You will be missed.
