Introduction to FaynoSync

FaynoSync derives its name from the Ukrainian word "файно" (fayno), meaning "excellent," "fine," or "great." This informal term captures the positive and enjoyable experience that FaynoSync aims to provide.

FaynoSync is a simple, yet powerful auto-updater service written in Golang. Its primary purpose is to keep your applications up-to-date effortlessly. With FaynoSync, you can upload your application to S3 and set the version number. The client application then communicates with the FaynoSync API to check for updates. If a newer version is available, FaynoSync provides a link to the updated service, and your application will notify the user with an alert.

One of FaynoSync's key strengths is its flexibility and user control. Users can create custom channels, platforms, and architectures with any names they choose, allowing the same workflow to support various application types such as desktop apps, browser extensions, mobile applications, and more. Our goal is to ensure that your creativity is the only limit.
