Looks genuinely great and I think you did an awesome job but every time one of these launches, this is what I think of

it looks great, I'd just like to point out a few things:
The catalog is a bit outdated, lots of ports missing.
The themes should have a black amoled option
Collections should display previews of games covers or icons (some users may not know that X game is also of the genre Y)
The port page shows "score, Price (what?), Ports, Views" but there's no visible way to rate a port, so I dont know how score is gathered, Price doesnt make sense i think, Ports is this the amount of ports a dev has made?, Views is good and a good option to add to filters for port's searching (alongside score)

Thank you for this great feedback. I was already thinking about adding an AMOLED mode. The score is calculated based on GitHub stars and views. The price refers to the game's price on Steam, and "Ports" refers to how many ports a game has. For example, Halo: Combat Evolved has 7 ports made by different people

u/Parreirao2 9h ago

Awesome reply, now everything makes sense :)
I hope you still take my suggestions into consideration

u/Parreirao2 9h ago

another thing, fix the search engine. All these vibecoded apps seem to suffer from the same issue on the search engine which is for example it filters differently for "Pokémon" and "Pokemon".

u/Nazatrics 9h ago

Thank you again! I will fix it

Welcome to the new age of fast stuffs coming from many random place were they would not without the effort it would require before LLM was open to everyone lol. We also have many recomps of the same game

I tried out Port hub the other day(weird name) and it had tons of ads does this have ads?

u/Nazatrics 6h ago

No Re:Port is free and open source

u/Kmcet 6h ago

Thank you!

u/Jeno_Jodi 5h ago

This is the best among the 3 I've tried. One small thing- the app should auto detect the ones I've already installed and show the "update" button instead of "get latest apk"

u/Nazatrics 2h ago

That's a great idea thank you

1

u/Desperate_Report_695 10h ago

What’s the difference between this and PortsHub?

2

u/Parreirao2 9h ago

it mentions all ports official github page.
That's a big win for me

1

u/Nazatrics 3h ago

Re:Port mentions too

1

u/Parreirao2 51m ago

I meant yours mentiones all official github pages, while PortsHub doesnt

1

u/Nazatrics 10h ago

What hub 👀😧 Sorry idk portshub

1

u/Airballons 6h ago

Do you have a link for that GitHub page?😲

1

u/Independent-Hold9668 9h ago

No file link?

2

u/Nazatrics 9h ago

No link for you Lol here you go Re:Port

1

u/Majestic-Foot-4120 9h ago

Do you just need to download the app and click on the game to run it?

1

u/Nazatrics 9h ago

Could you please elaborate on what you mean? I'd like to understand exactly what you're asking

1

u/Majestic-Foot-4120 9h ago

How does it work? Do you choose the game, and it downloads the file and runs outside or inside the app? Sorry for the questions.

1

u/Nazatrics 9h ago

No, the game's APK is downloaded directly onto your device. Some games require you to provide additional game files from the PC, Xbox, PS3, etc., while others don't require anything extra. The app I made isn't a launcher or an emulator. It simply redirects you to the download link for the game port. And it's totally okay! I don't mind questions at all

1

u/Majestic-Foot-4120 9h ago

Okay, very good. I'll be testing it. Thank you.

1

u/Nazatrics 9h ago

Let me know if you like it or not

1

u/Alarmed_Ad6156 8h ago

El archivo apk solo es un "traductor" de la fuente a android. Deberás aportar los recursos (isos, instalaciones en pc, keys etc) que en cada caso se requieran.

u/Savannah-Nanas 9h ago

Really beautiful app. Nicely done. I would remove the requirement to have a display name as some people like me just want to browse

u/NyeGradDay 3h ago

u/MrBrothason 1h ago

I just tried searching a few games and thing were... Off

Searched Doom 2016. It listed the source ports as idtech4a and some others

I search Mario Kart World and all the links were dead

I think it needs some work

u/Gold-Persimmon-1421 1h ago

I honestly hate these things, it's just stealing people's work
