I'm missing an option to add whole repositories.

AS the title states, I don't see how one would/could add whole external repositories .... or was it never meant to do so?

I'm planning to add support for them today (and maybe add a hundred more apps).

Couldn't you use some components from the plasma store to get app info? I'm not sure where the parts for that are, but I would work just like that app store except less... Slow and janky I guess.

Just wondering if that wouldn't slow down the app a lot considering you wont be able to evade 'indexing' in the long run...or run 'apt update' (for Debian based repos) on every start up.

I'll hold my breath and wait out to see how you solve that. :)

It could just use the already cached lists, and have an optional update button. By default it would use the cached lists.
