A bucket of unconventional software that official repos won't carry.
Curating practical tools that mainstream buckets overlook — developer utilities, geek essentials, ACGN apps, and more.

| Type | Approach |
|---|---|
| Zip / 7z | Direct url — Scoop auto-extracts; use extract_dir if needed |
| Single exe | url with #/name.exe fragment to keep the filename |
| Inno Setup | "innosetup": true |
| NSIS | Append #/dl.7z to url — 7-Zip natively extracts NSIS; use extract_dir to pick target folder |
| Electron NSIS | #/dl.7z + "extract_dir": "$PLUGINSDIR" + pre_install to expand inner app-64.7z via Expand-7zipArchive |
| Zip-wrapped NSIS | pre_install with two Expand-7zipArchive calls (NSIS layer → app-64.7z) |
| Local source build | Download tagged source, delegate toolchain checks to shared helpers, build during installation, and expose only the verified artifact |
Portability: The installed result is portable only when the built artifact is self-contained and does not retain absolute build paths or depend on machine-specific runtimes. The build process still requires a compatible local toolchain and network access. Pin provisioned tool versions, isolate project configuration (for example, mise --no-config), validate the expected artifact, and fail instead of falling back to unofficial binaries.
