Thanks for this, now I can download the PPCAppStore on stock Safari and download a modern web browser from the Store! It used to be the other way around, which got frustrating because some of the browser download sites didn't work well with stock Safari.

So I realized that PPCAppStore is a great platform, but the Wordpress site is too bloated to render properly on an old PowerMac. The solution?

This website renders great on any browser from the current millenium, and you can download the app with no troubles or crashes.

Great work! Your app is an excellent platform for keeping PPC apps available.

Just thinking aloud, but I wonder if anyone mirrored versiontracker.com before CNET took it down. It would make for a great foundation of PPC software to integrate into a platform like the PPCAppStore. It even dated right back to classic Mac OS.

The PPCAppStore was made by @redmanu, not @sidnoway. ;)
