Now that the Twitch client is soon going to stop managing WoW addons many of us are having to look for a new addon manager.
I am curious what others are planning on using to manage their wow add-ons.
Personally I believe in Open Source products where the source code of the software can be inspected to make sure any spying or data-gathering is understood. With that in mind I am likely going to try to go with:
https://wowup.io/
Verification that WoWUp is licensed under the Open Source GNU General Public License v3.0 can be found here:
https://github.com/WowUp/WowUp/blob/master/LICENSE
I also liked what I read on the Ajour client as it is also Open Source but it doesn't support the Github nor WoWInterface repositories so I thinking of trying WoWUp instead.
I did some research and the following may be helpful for others:
Good article: https://www.wowhead.com/guides/best-addon-managers-wow-shadowlands (https://www.wowhead.com/guides/best-addon-managers-wow-shadowlands)
Fun read: https://blizzardwatch.com/2020/11/17/download-update-wow-addons-shadowlands/ (https://blizzardwatch.com/2020/11/17/download-update-wow-addons-shadowlands/)
Most comprehensive list I found: https://ogri-la.github.io/wow-addon-managers/ (https://ogri-la.github.io/wow-addon-managers/)
I will try to post a poll to see what others have decided.
