Content Neutrality & DMCA Notice
Jobee'sLair is a user-driven download tool, not a content service.
- No copyrighted files are hosted here: not on a project server, not in this repository, not in the app
- The bundled catalog (
app/data/) is an index of titles, descriptions, cover links and references to
- Your feeds and mirrors are yours. They are fetched and read on your console. The project runs no feed
To report an infringing catalog entry, feed or mirror, open a takedown issue or use GitHub's DMCA process, naming this repository. Include the work and its owner, where the entry is (its file and title ID, or the exact address), your contact details, a good-faith statement that the use is not authorized, and a statement under penalty of perjury that the notice is accurate and you are the owner or authorized to act. A complete notice is reviewed promptly and the entries it identifies are removed in a following release. A feed hosted by someone else is outside the project's control; send the notice to its host too. A counter-notice is handled as the DMCA and GitHub's process provide.

| app/ | The application (JSX, state, catalog data) and app.json (title ID PPSA99471) |

On Linux (or WSL) with clang-18, llvm-18, cmake, ninja-build, nodejs, npm, zlib1g-dev,
build-essential, pkg-config, unzip, curl, exfatprogs and Pillow (ps5-react/requirements.txt):
cd ps5-react
python3 tools/build_ps5.py --app-dir ../app --llvm /usr/bin
cp -a dist/PPSA99471 ../stage
../packaging/stage-docs.sh ../stage
sudo ../packaging/make-exfat.sh ../stage ../JobeesLair.exfat JOBEESLAIRThe tests need only Node.js 22+ and run on every push: npm test (logic), npm run test:render
(screens), npm run test:all (both).
The Homebrew section's list is nexgen999's PS5 Repository List,
read live, plus our own picks and categories. It is built from each project's own GitHub data every six hours
in its own repository, JVK3R/JobeesLair-Homebrew, which
consoles read directly; npm run homebrew:pull refreshes the copy shipped in the app (app/data/homebrew.json)
before a release. The same repository is the home of Jobee'sLair Homebrew, the Homebrew section built on its
own (packaging/homebrew-edition.sh, title PPSA99472), which installs beside the store.
To publish: raise the version in app/version.js, build, test the image on a console, then publish a
release tagged with the same version (v0.5.0). Attach JobeesLair.exfat and update.zip
(ps5-react/dist/PPSA99471.zip renamed) so installed copies can update themselves.
Support the project
Jobee'sLair is free and open source, and stays that way. Nothing is locked or limited and the app never asks for money. If you'd like to support it, you can buy me a coffee ☕ (also under Settings → About). Thank you.
