Scoopie (WIP)

If Scoop is vanilla, Scoopie will be tutti frutti. - Rahul

Scoopie is a high-performance alternative to the Scoop package manager for Windows, built from the ground up in Rust. It aims to provide a blazing-fast package management experience while minimizing dependencies and optimizing resource usage. Scoopie leverages parallel processing, bundled tools, and an efficient storage structure to deliver exceptional performance.

Key Features

• Lightweight and Fast: Scoopie is designed to be lightweight and lightning-fast. It minimizes dependencies, resulting in a small footprint and quick startup times.
• Reduced Dependencies: Scoopie comes compiled with Git, eliminating the need for users to pre-install it on their systems. This streamlines the installation process and ensures seamless integration with repositories and version control.
• Efficient Storage: Instead of using a flat-file structure like Scoop, Scoopie leverages the power of SQLite. This optimized storage approach reduces disk space usage and enhances the search experience.
• Parallel Processing: Scoopie harnesses the power of parallel processing to perform operations in parallel, greatly improving overall performance. This enables faster package installation, updates, and searches, enhancing the user experience.
• Built-in Download Manager: Scoopie includes a bundled efficient download manager, eliminating the reliance on external tools like aria2. This simplifies the installation process and provides a seamless downloading experience.
• User-friendly CLI: Scoopie offers a user-friendly command-line interface, allowing users to easily manage packages, perform searches, and update their installations. The CLI provides intuitive commands and helpful feedback to ensure a smooth experience.
