honestly I don't really understand how this would work... if is an outside app which is not used in the client people are gonna have some trust issues, I would definitely use something like this, but maybe you need more support from the community from people that can check your code to see if is cool to use, hope you can post a functional beta to check it out soon anyways.

Suggestion: Since actively developed addons are available on github it would be better to check directly on github for updates rather than uploading new versions to the database again and again.

For the active developed addon i will do something like that in the future, but we have many old addons with no further updates.

In order to make it work with new updates, you should connect it to bitbucket and github

i think its prob. a good idea for noobs, to install their addons...
prob. you could make http://vanilladb.net/ or http://addons.us.to/ as file source...
github/bitbucket support (with update function) is a must-have these days
also you could make this program as a launcher with different realmlist to choose?

edit: a function that deletes WTF files for single addons would be nice too

I will add a github/bitbucket feature after the upload function.

At the moment, the upload works, progressbar doesnt work at the moment, dont know why :/
When the upload and the progress bar works perfectly i will fill the datebase with some addons and develop the download function.
Followed by the github/bitbucket function.
