The Open Shop Channel is where you can go to get homebrew apps. It is a revival project for an app called Homebrew Browser Wii.
History
The Open Shop Channel was started in March 2018, with the goal to revive the Wii Shop Channel before its planned discontinuation. The original plan for the project was to make a Wii Shop Channel replacement, But over time, our focus went towards providing a general open source repository of apps, with the Homebrew Browser and OSCDL to make use of it, as well as the public and open API later on.
An additional service was planned called Club Spot, which gave you perks for using the Open Shop Channel. What we originally envisioned the Open Shop Channel to be was ambitious. But we keep working on it and hoping to share results soon.
Installing Open Shop Channel
Installing the Open Shop Channel is quite simple.
