Overwolf has all the data which makes Ajour work, and currently, they are pulling the rug under us. I don't want to fight with Overwolf (anymore). What does this mean for Ajour? Well, it kills my motivation, and it kills my vision for Ajour. In addition, they will rate limit third-party addon managers if one becomes too popular oh, and not all addons will be available over the API. They will deprecate the current API and create a new API where downloads do not count towards the CurseForge Reward Program-essentially splitting the community by turning addon developers against third-party addon managers. However, they weren't sure exactly what their plan was, so for the time being, they kept the API open as it always has been.įast forward to the present time.

The short version is that since Overwolf earns their money from ads and user data, they wanted the users to use their application rather than third-party addon managers. In late 2020 Overwolf posted about their stance on third-party addon managers. And on top of that, I made some new best friends. Together we created what I believe is one of the best addon managers ever. I spent many hours building Ajour, and luckily and joined to help me early in the project. The timing was good Curse had just been sold to Overwolf, Shadowlands was about to be released, and Classic was popular. The goal was simple: I wanted the easiest and fastest way to update and download all of your addons for World of Warcraft. I started working on Ajour in summer 2020.
